O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up, you know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night-but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. Psalm 139:1-12
I doubt that I am the only person who feels invisible sometimes. I wonder if anyone would notice if I disappeared. I wonder if anything I do makes any difference.
That's a horrible place for my brain to sit. Before long, I have convinced myself that my life has no purpose. And I know that isn't true! Jeremiah 29:11 says that God knows the plans that he has for me and they are plans for good to give me a future and a hope! So I obviously have purpose!
Psalm 139 is filled with evidence that I am NOT invisible! Even if no one else notices, God sees everything I do. He knows my heart and my thoughts. He knows exactly where I am and exactly what I am going to say. His hand is ALWAYS on me! That's where I choose to let my brain sit. I am SEEN by God...and that is all that matters!
