“You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and follow behind me. And You LAY YOUR HAND UPON ME. Such knowledge is TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME; It is high, It’s more than I can understand.” (Psa. 139:4-6) This is assurance that God, indeed NEVER leaves us or forsakes us. For us to say that our God does not hear us because our prayers never even make it up to the ceiling is AN ERROR STATEMENT. Because God goes “before us” and at the same time follows “behind us.”
When I feel lonely, you Lord “lay your hand upon me.” Just knowing this is, “too wonderful for me. It’s more than I can 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.” (Psa. 139:7-10)
