o lord you have searched me and you know me. you know when i sit and when i rise. you perceive my thoughts from afar. you discern my going out and my lying down. you are familiar with all my ways. even before a word is on my tongue you know it completely. you hem me in behind and before - you have laid your hand upon me. such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 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. if i rise on the wings of dawn, if i settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me. your right hand will hold me fast. if i say surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you, for darkness is as light to you.
psalm 139
this one is so good to remember. i dunno.. i seem to be a little more insecure and doubtful of myself compared to other people. and that's the thing.. i'm really good at comparing myself with other people and finding that i always fall short on any given point of comparison. obviously, there's no warm fuzzy feeling in that. the worst part is that i come to doubt the intent of the creator and i criticize, scrutinize and minimize the power of my god who created my inmost being. doh.
let's try and keep this one in mind more, yeah?
