God in Unprecedented Times - Psalm 139

“When I hear the beginning of this ancient prayer, I hear that God is omnipalevolent. You love me Lord. God has a personal care for you and me. He knows every single thing. He's not unaware and unconcerned. That's intimate knowledge. God is watching you. God is watching out for you. He knows your thoughts. He knows when you're coming, when you're going, the number of hairs on your head. He's there in your thoughts. In fact, I believe your thoughts are meant to be a conversation with him. Thinking is doxology. Talking in language is doxology. It's meant to praise God. The fact that he knows your thoughts means he has the inside track on your pain. He is love and he is your father. It breaks his heart to see what's happening to you right now. He hates to see what we're going through. God isn't callously looking at your pain, but he's there in your heart, feeling every beat and bruise.”
