I. The ALL-KNOWING God
1. In what we do
*verses 1 & 3, (He SEES what we do every SECOND)
"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways."
2. In what we think
*verse 2, (nothing is HIDDEN from HOLY God)
"You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.'
3. In what we say
*verses 4-6, (He HEARS even the whisper of our HEARTS)
"Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain."
II. The ALL-PRESENT God
1. He is in HEAVEN
*verses 7-8a, (we can't HIDE from Him even if He is in HEAVEN)
"Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens you are there."
2. He is in HELL
*verse 8b, (even in SHEOL, the SOVEREIGN God is there)
"If I make my bed in the depths, you are there."
3. He is in HERE and there
*verses 9-12, (God is PRESENT in all PLACES)
"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you."
III. The ALL-POWERFUL God
1. The POWER of God
*verse 13, (He CREATED everything we have when we are CONCEIVED)
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb."
2. The PRAISES to God
*verse 14, (the PRAISES to God's creative POWER)
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Conclusion: We don't know what the future holds for us. But we can trust our omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent God who is already in the future and who holds our future.
