Amazing Love
October 30, 2024
Psalm 139:1-6 You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up, You understand my though afar off. You compass my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have beset me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
God has perfect knowledge of me, and all my thoughts and actions are open before Him. This God, my God, knows all things, is omniscient. He is everywhere, is omnipresent. God notices every step I take, right or wrong. He knows what rule I walk by, what end I walk toward, what company I walk with. He knows what is in my heart whether great longings or deep rejections. What amazing love this is! What amazing love that even as He knows me He would still die for me.
Psalm 139:14 I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Your works and that my soul knows very well.
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? ¹
