God’s Love Series – Day 32 – It Seems Too Good To Be True

“O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.

You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it.” Psalm 139:1-6 (NKJV)

I have attempted to hide from God more than once, going about my day as if He cannot see me, pretending He doesn’t know what is happening in my life. I have been disappointed in myself, disappointed with someone else, or life was overall disappointing. 

Hiding from the Lord is like a young child, covering his face with his hands, thinking he is hiding from his parents. If the child can’t see his parents, he assumes they cannot see him. I am basically playing peek a boo with God. I am not hidden.

Like Adam and Eve, wearing clothes of fig leaves and hiding from God after they sinned. Yet God still came to see them for their nightly visit, fully knowing what they had done. Even the weighty consequences of their sin did not stop God’s love them and He was already working on His plan to reconnect with His people.

God knows us completely and watches our every move. He is a perfect Father Who loves, protects us and is always with us. 

David says, “such knowledge is too wonderful for me.” 

I agree with David. It seems too good to be true.

But thankfully, it is true, and this is our life with God.
