Psalm 139: Omnipresence Of God
Psalm 139 is a strong passage about our worth and value. It is a passage about hope and the omnipresence of God. The first verse sets the tone for the entire chapter. God has known me. There was never a time when he did not know me. If God cared enough about me to lay out the plan for my creation long before and to be a part of every aspect of our lives now and the future, then we must have great worth in God’s eyes. God chose to create us in His image. WMy value is not found in what I do. My value is not found in my job. My value is not found in the ministry I serve in. My value is not determined by others. My value is determined by God alone.
God will lead me wherever I am. We must have great value to take the time and attention of God to

    Throughout many of the chapters Anderson mentions how our struggle with un-holiness is less when our parents or loved ones meet the needs we have to be loved. Anderson then tells us the importance in realizing our worth in God. He says “In Christ we are important, we are qualified, we are good. Satan can do absolutely nothing to alter our position in Christ and our worth to God. But he can render us virtually inoperative if he can deceive us into listening to and believing his insidious lies accusing us of being of little value to God or other people”…

    Essentially, the question posed is asking what our personal Christian counseling view is using Psalm 8 and 139. First, the Psalms tell me that God knows me in every way. He knows my every thought, action, and emotion even before I do. In fact, He knew these before He created me (Psalm 139, ESV). This is more than the human mind can truly understand.…

    “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.” Isaiah 45:22 (NKJV). I heard the question asked last night. “What rewards your life?” The answer was; to deeply appreciate those, who love you by loving them back. That’s what life is all about. You can ruin your life by desensitizing yourself. We are all afraid to say too much, feel too deeply, to let people know just how much they mean to us. But not God, in fact, we find in this verse how much He loves us. Many of us have a mental picture of what a Christian should be. Yet many of us don’t make ourselves vulnerable enough to fully narrow all our interests until our mind, heart, and body are completely focused and looking at…

    In the first section of this book, Monica Rose Brennan talks about what our true identity is in Christ and how we need to remove our masks and stop being fake and be real with people. Psalms 139 sheds light on what our identity in Christ is and tells us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” She breaks down Psalms 139 into 4 unchanging truths about who we are in Christ. The first unchanging truth is that God has a perfect knowledge of us. The second unchanging truth is that God is omnipresent which means He is always with us. The third unchanging truth is that God is our designer who uniquely and purposefully created us and she also reminds us in this truth that we are not an accident. The fourth unchanging truth is that God loves us and also He cares for us and we are always on His mind and He never forgets about us.…

    I believe that the beatitude “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Means to always be humble. This beatitude shows that people who are humble will go to heaven, while those who are not humble may have other plans in store. Humility is truly something that has been overshadowed in today’s world, with everyone boasting of there own accomplishments, and not thanking or recognizing others for the great things that they have done. Yes, being great at something is awesome, but you did not get there all on your own, you have to give credit where it is due, and boasting about that certain thing will only make you seem cocky. This is the first beatitude,…

    Implying this quote thru religion and my own personal experience, as I interpret it means that in our life we think what we have is really valuable. Base on religion it is human nature to think we know what’s good for us but the truth is God knows what’s ”Best” for us. How can he fill up our cup if it’s still full? God knows and want what’s best for us but in order for him to give this to us we must first surrender ourselves completely to him and let him have control of our life. As John chapter 3 verse 16 – 17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” Having said this in my own experience, what I thought was of value was being cool by and going to parties and cutting classes. But these actions had serious consequences that I didn’t think of at that…
