Love’s long beach

Love’s long beach

Bible:Psalm 139:1-10

Oh, the depths of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
(ROMANS 11:33).

Reading

Mary Lee is a sixteen-foot, 3,500-pound great white shark who was tagged by researchers. The transmitter attached to one of her fins could be tracked by satellite when she surfaced. For five years Mary Lee’s movements were observed online by everyone from researchers to surfers. She was tracked for nearly 40,000 miles until one day her signal stopped—probably because the battery on her transmitter died. On the other end of the scale, David said to God, “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there” (PSALM 139:7-8). “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,” he said with thanks (V.6). God chooses to know us because He loves us. He cares enough not only to watch our lives but also to enter into them and make them new. He made
Himself open to us through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, so we could know Him for ourselves and love Him forever. Human knowledge and technology reach only so far. Those ‘following’ Mary Lee lost track of her, but you and I can never escape God’s attention, or His love, throughout every moment of our lives.

WE’VE ALWAYS GOT GOD’S FULL ATTENTION!
