The depth of the search

You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me. You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts. You notice everything I do and everywhere I go. Psalm 139:1-3 (CEV)

If this doesn’t show you how important you are to God, I don’t know what will. He has searched you. He really knows you. He hasn’t done this lightly; He hasn’t searched like security at the airport. He didn’t stick you through an x-ray machine and look. He opened the bag and took things out. He dug into the nooks and carnies. He’s looked over every millimeter of you. Your thoughts are spoken aloud to him. It’s clear to Him what you think. He knows your routines better than you do. He knows you hit the snooze button twice before getting up. If you walked into His Starbucks, your drink would be waiting for you. He knows where all the children in the carpool live and He could do the drive with His eyes closed. He knows you drop the kids off for soccer at 5:30pm on Thursdays. He knows your fears and joys. He knows that you’re worried about your kids. He sees the fears you have about your husband not coming home from a deployment. He knows that you’re really happy when the dog jumps in your bed. He knows what a relief it is to have that newborn sleep for 4 hours the first time. He knows that you feel great when you put on that dress; your husband wants to tear off you. He knows. You matter. He feels what you feel and wants to make it right. He thinks you are the greatest thing out there. That way you hold your newborn, He holds you. When your husband wraps his arms around you and you feel safe and secure; that’s what does to you.

You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Psalm 139:5 (NASB)

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,” Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. Psalm 139:7-12 (NASB)

He watches over you. He’s got you in a safe place. The greatest thing is you can’t hide from Him. You are so important to Him. He will go and find you. That closet you use to hide in as a child, He saw you there. When you are driving across the country to see your parents; He was watching. At night when all the lights are out and you are laying there awake; He sees you. On that ferry to Alaska; He was there too. When you danced in the rain; He watched. There isn’t anywhere you can hide. On His smart phone, He’s got an app that isn’t a phone tracker, it’s a you tracker. He opens the app, types your name and it tells where you are at, what you are doing, and what you are thinking. The best thing you can do is quit trying to hide and just let Him watch you. He isn’t watching you in the stalker in the bushes kids of way. He’s watching you the same way you watch your child sleep.
