Comforting Words — reflections on the psalms

Verses from Psalm 139 1-2

O Lord you have searched me out and known me
you when I sit and when I stand
you comprehend my thoughts long before

You discern my path and the places where I rest
you are acquainted with all my ways...

We are never completely alone. In Him we live and breath and have our being. God alone truly knows our thoughts, our feelings, our hurts, our problems, our pains, what makes us tick. Ultimately, he alone is our judge.



I have been thinking about this today. It has been a busy few days since getting back from holiday. Domestic chores, catching up with correspondence and sorting out issues to do with my books. (Looks like my latest will get in the local paper.) We can get lost in busyness. Today I have the morning to myself — to sort out thoughts and feelings, while plodding on. Sometimes we need to be alone.
