Day 7

Scripture to Read: Psalm 139:23–24

Remember in yesterday’s devotion how God had led David to describe his hatred for God’s enemies. As we finish Psalm 139 today, we see how God also led David to ask God to examine his heart and motives right after writing about hating God’s enemies. God had David write in Psalm 139:23–24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; 24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.” God wants us to seek Him daily, and as we do, He will reveal to us the true motives of our hearts. God uses His Word this way, for He tells us in Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” God’s Word penetrates deeply in our lives and shows us “the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” God also uses His Holy Spirit in us to guide us and speak to us daily—that is why we must guard against quenching or grieving His Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19, Ephesians 4:30). The good news is that God is actively at work in our lives every day, and He desires us to walk in a manner that pleases Him (Colossians 1:9–10). When we choose to submit to Him and His Word, we know we’re walking the path of everlasting life.

Day 1

We know God is omnipresent and omniscient, but too often we live as if He is not. We quickly forget that He lives in us, as Christians, and that we never have to invite Him to be with us. As God led David to write Psalm 139, God filled David with His Spirit so that the words David wrote give us a beautiful reminder of God’s Omniscience and Om...

God’s Omniscience and Omnipresence are His and His alone. Often, people give Satan God’s attributes, but Satan is not omniscient or omnipresent. Though we face spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10–18), let’s be careful never to give the spiritual forces of darkness the attributes of God, for they are fallen angels, not gods. Our Heavenly Father ...

Day 3

God’s Omnipresence is so hard for us to comprehend since it is impossible for any other part of His creation to be everywhere at the same time. With modern technology, we can at least get a glimpse, and it’s a minimal and minute glimpse, of what it looks like to be in many places at one time. Consider being on a Skype call with people from al...

Day 4

As Christians, we should all know that life begins in the womb, at conception. God used David to remind us that He is the One who created every part of us in our mom’s womb. God designed us precisely according to His purpose and plan so that our lives bring Him pleasure in all we do and say. We need to thank our Lord daily for how He has made...

God has taught us a lot so far in Psalm 139 about how awesome He is as our All-present (Omnipresent) and All-knowing (Omniscient) God, Creator and King. In yesterday’s devotion, God began to show us how precious we are to Him in the way He has created each one of us. Then God had David write this in Psalm 139:17–18, “How precious also are You...

Day 6

God led David to shift focus in Psalm 139:19–22 as God led David to describe God’s enemies. God allowed David to share how he wanted God to destroy the wicked and that David wanted all murderers out of his life. Then, God led David to ask these questions in Psalm 139:21, “Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who...
