Psalm 139:3-6 - OUR AWESOME GOD IS INFINITE AND MADE US FOR RELATIONSHIP.

Psalm 139:3-6 (NIV) You discern my going out 
and my lying down; you are familiar with all my 
ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it 
completely, O LORD. 5 You hem me in - behind and before; 
you have laid your hand upon me. 6 Such 
knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to 
attain.  

Psalm 139:3-6 (NLT) You see me when I travel 
and when I rest at home. You know everything I 
do. 4 You know what I am going to say even 
before I say it, LORD. 5 You go before me and 
follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my 
head. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, 
too great for me to understand!  

Psalm 139:3-6 (TLB) You chart the path ahead 
of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every 
moment you know where I am. 4 You know what I am 
going to say before I even say it. 5 You both 
precede and follow me and place your hand of 
blessing on my head. 6 This is too glorious, too 
wonderful to believe!  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Question: What do Zacchaeus and the woman 
with the bleeding disorder have in common? They 
both got more of Jesus than they bargained for. 
Curious Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree just to 
get a glimpse of Jesus as He passed by. Jesus 
called to him and announced that He would be 
Zacchaeus' houseguest. That visit transformed the tax 
collector (Luke 19:1-10). 
   The desperate woman who had bled for 
twelve years simply wanted to touch Jesus's robe to 
be physically healed. But Jesus had more in 
mind. After she got what she thought she wanted 
most, Jesus drew her out of the crowd for a 
face-to-face conversation. She left that personal 
encounter spiritually healed as well (Luke 8:42-48). 
   Sometimes, I act like I only want a 
little bit of Jesus in my day too. Maybe a glimpse 
of Him in the background so I know He's got my 
back. Or I touch base with a quick prayer to start 
my day before running off to pursue my own 
agenda. Thankfully, Jesus gives me, too, more than I 
bargained for. 
   He knows what I truly need - not a chance 
encounter but an intentional relationship. I want Him 
to be in my thoughts every moment of every day, 
present in every conversation, decision, and 
interaction. That kind of closeness transforms my life. 
Since Jesus knows me intimately, I want to get to 
know Him better every day. Dianne Neal Matthews 
   Faith Step: Read through Psalm 139 slowly 
and prayerfully, thinking about how intimately 
Jesus knows and loves you. [Mornings With Jesus
