O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. (Psalm 139:1-5 NLT)

Living within the care and community of God means that He sees every aspect of who we are. What we do and what we don’t. What we say and what we won’t. From our hearts to our homes. From our ways to our work. No matter where we go, He is there. Aware. Available. Active.

Can you sense God’s presence everywhere in your life?

Listen to the shepherd, king, and psalmist David’s words again: O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. … You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say … You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. (Psalm 139:1, 3, 5 NLT)

Take a moment to reflect on the last verse: “You place your hand of blessing on my head.” Invite … allow … accept … feel … the Lord place His hand on your head right now—for no reason other than to bless you.

Let’s pray together: “Thank You, Father, that You know me intimately. My heart. My words. My actions. Everything I do and everywhere I go, You watch over me. Thank You for your blessing today. May my life bless You. As above, so below.”
