Psalm 139:17-22

Psalm 139:17-22 
English Standard Version 

  God exists outside of time and space, creating everything that exists through the power of God's creative Word.  And yet still, even when we get lost in the vastness of God, God is still with us -- again, this is the intimacy of God that is simply astounding.  
  The Psalmist loves God with such passion that he takes offense at the enemies of God -- those who are taking God's name in vain are hateful to him.  This is one way in which the Psalmist demonstrates his love for God.  
  For us, it's important to look at the world through a lens of understanding what is good and what opposes God.  For many situations, how do we think about bringing grace into those places?  How can we allow the light of God's love to shine in us and through us so that the world may see the goodness of God through our words and actions? 
  It's a hard path to walk, to be agents of grace, but important that we witness to intimacy and love that we can find only in God.
