Psalm 139:5
You hem me in —behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me
Begin by reviewing the first 4 verses of Psalm 139, then add on today's verse. Do today's verse on it's own - over and over and over, and then do all 4 verses together.
Our previous verses focused on the fact that God is all knowing. Today's (and following) verse focuses on the fact that God is always present everywhere. He is not some distant God, He is right there beside you - behind and before, He lays His hand upon you. Isn't that beautiful? He is a personal God and He is always with you.
Tomorrow will be a review day, see you Monday for v6 (and reviewing the Psalms we've already done)
Please join us as we seek to know God by memorizing His Word in context. Convicted and inspired by Janet Pope's His Word in My Heart we are learning to redeem the time by including Scripture memory in our daily routines.
LeRoy Eims on the importance of Scripture memory: "I think two of the master strokes of the devil have been to convince people he doesn't exist, and that Scripture memory is only for children. He remembers the humility of defeat when Jesus Christ, who was tempted in all points like as we are, met him with the Word of God." (What Every Christian Should Know About Growing; p. 26-27)
