Psalms 139:1-4
“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.”
Psalms 139:1-4 NIV
God’s omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence are the subjects of David’s meditations in this beautiful psalm. In this psalm David asked God to examine him thoroughly to affirm his innocence. His first meditation is on God’s knowledge, that every aspect of his life was searched out and controlled by what the Lord knew. He then realized it was impossible to escape from such omniscient control, no matter how far or fast he might go, for God is everywhere. David then stated that God has such control over him because in His power He created Him secretly and planned his life with great care. On the basis of these meditations, David then affirmed his loyalty to God and prayed for God to prove him by examining him. The theme of this psalm is announced in the opening verse, the Lord knew David penetratingly. David said God’s knowledge came as if He had scoured every detail of David’s life and thus knew him intimately. Has the enemy of your mind ever attempted you into believing that God is not concerned about you? Has he also convinced you that God is not aware of where you are and what you are going through even at this present moment? If he has, it’s a lie and you need to rebuke, reject and refute satan lies every time he brings those thought to your mind. Those thoughts do not line up with God’s Word, nor do they come from God, they come from your adversary, the devil.
Are you praying, reading your word daily, and following the leading of God’s Holy Spirit? These are the tools needed to help us fight against every lie of the enemy that he brings to our mind that is contrary to God’s Word? “Be on your guard and stay awake. Your enemy, the devil, is like a roaring lion, sneaking around to find someone to attack” The mind is the battleground the enemy uses to come against us. If the enemy could get a foothold in our mind, he has control of our thoughts. Every act originates out of thoughts. The devil does not want our stuff, he wants our MIND! If we could be honest for a moment, the mind seems to be under attack more now than it’s ever been. Regardless of how fierce the thoughts of the enemy is when he comes to our minds, God has given us the weaponry needed to fight against those thoughts. As God’s creation we are never out of His Sight. Whose report will you believe? Truth or lie? God or satan? Be very careful what you allow to enter into your mind because what you allow to enter is what you believe and what you believe becomes your reality. As God’s creation we are never out of His Sight!!!
