1-6 God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I'm an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I'm never out of your sight. You know everything I'm going to say before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there, too— your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful— I can't take it all in!
NOTES: David tells us in these verses that God has perfect knowledge of us. We are an open book to him, and we are never out of his sight. Because we know that God is aware of us completely then we can be reassured of his presence.
QUESTION: what does it mean to be reassured?
Answer: One answer is for us to be at peace, without worry and at ease. To be reassured means you are confident. In this case you are confident in God. Is there something that has you worried? Then this scripture can help you know that God already knows all that you will face and he is before you to reassure you. How do you think this scripture can reassure you when you are worried, or when you don't see the answers clearly?
Prayer: My prayer for you today is that you would find confidence and reassurance in God. He knows you and he has the answer for your life.
