Fully known

Read

¹ O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. ² Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. ³ Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. ⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. ⁵ Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. ⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Reflect

The psalmist says God knows his sitting down and rising up, his path, even each word before it is spoken. Being so completely known is not a threat here; it is 'too wonderful,' a closeness no one can earn.

Pray

Lord, you know me better than I know myself. When I feel unseen, remind me that I am never outside your attention. Amen.
