1 〔大衛的詩、交與伶長。〕 1耶和華阿、你已經鑒察我、認識我．2 我坐下、我起來、你都曉得．你從遠處知道我的意念。
3 我行路、我躺臥、你都細察、 你也深知我一切所行的。 4 耶和華阿、我舌頭上的話、你沒有一句 不知道的．5你在我前後環繞我、按手在我身上。 6 這樣的知識奇妙、是我不能測的．至高、是我 不能及的。
解經: 經文: 詩篇
139:1-6,
有時候我們並不願意讓別人了解我們，因為害怕他們會發現他們不喜歡的東西。但上帝已經知道我們所有的事情，甚至我們頭上有多少跟頭髮
(參考太十:30)，但上帝仍然接納 和愛我們。在任何情況和試煉之下，上帝都與我們同在，保護、 愛護和引導我們。上帝完全了解 並且愛我們，因為上帝是 無所不在的神。
(聖經靈修版第1058頁)

上帝是無所不在 : 經文: 詩篇 139:7-12,
7我往那裡去躲避你的靈．我往那裡逃躲避你的面。8 我若升到天上、 你在那裡．我若在陰間下榻、 你也在那裡。9 我若展開清晨的翅膀、飛到海極居住．10 就是在那裡、你的手必引導我．你的右手、 也必扶持我。11我若說、黑暗必定 遮蔽我、我周圍的亮光必成為黑夜．12 黑暗也不能遮蔽我使你不見、 黑夜卻如白晝發亮．黑暗和光明、 在你看都是一樣。
解經: 詩篇139:7-12, 上帝是無所不在的， 我們沒法躲避祂。生命是應被尊重，因在上帝裏，對我們是有祂創造的意義在。看了幾個清楚的畫面是關於上帝廣柔之與人類生活的關係。我們看上天或地之深處， 上帝都在各處。所以詩人寫有， “我若展開清晨的翅膀、飛到海極居住” (第九句)。我們人類的生命在上帝面前是完全的打開，是毫無秘密的。在此最大的卻定是 “祂的手必引導我．祂的右手、也必扶持我。” (第十句)。
與神同在絕無黑暗。詩人確定黑暗與光亮對上帝來說是沒有分別的。也就是說在神面前是豪無穩藏的。
3尊重生命: 詩篇139:13-18,
13 我的肺腑是你所造的．我在母腹中、你已覆庇我。
14我要稱謝你、因我受造奇妙可畏．你的作為奇妙．這是我心深知道的。
15 我在暗中受造、在地的深處被聯絡、那時、我的形體並不向你隱藏。
16 我未成形的體質、你的眼早已看見了．你所定的日子、我尚未度一日、〔或作我被造的肢體尚未有其一〕你都寫在你的冊上了。
17 神阿、你的意念向我何等寶貴．其數何等眾多。
18 我若數點、比海沙更多．我睡醒的時候、仍和你同在。
解經: 詩篇139:13-18, “我的肺腑是你所造的．我在母腹中、你已覆庇我。” (詩篇139:13). 上帝是強有力的將祂的形象捏造人類在一起。 以上帝的光創造之工作，我們人類的生命自始至終, 是依賴於上帝。 人類的生命是上帝愛的禮物，因為這個原因，我們是必照顧好和尊重這生命。無論我們為自己或他人所做的事情，要記住每一個人都是祂所創造的，是必應該有其價值性。我們的生命確實無論是生前或生後都是上帝給的禮物。身為基督徒是必清楚的按照經文去教導
“尊重生命”。

上帝認知您: 祂完全的認知我們，如我們尋求愛祂如祂愛我們般的愛，就應當括大此愛去愛大眾。
2) 上帝是無所不在: 上帝的無所不在是 好消息，而且祂與我們一代代的同在。
3) 尊重生命: 我們必須切實自認生命、 保護生命、和重視生命。當您感覺無價值甚至開始恨自己的時後，要記得上帝的靈在等著幫助您、並與您同工。

O
LORD, you have searched me and you know me. 2. You know
when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a
word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. 5 You hem me in-- behind and before; you have
laid your hand upon me. 6 Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Commentary: Psalm
139:1-6, Sometimes we don’t let people get to know us completely because we
are afraid they will discover something about us that they won’t like. But
God already knows everything about us, even to the number of hairs on our
heads (Matthew 10:30), and still He accepts and loves us. God is with us
through every situation, in every trial – protecting, loving, guiding. He
knows and lives us completely, because God is the Emmanuel God. (P.1260 of NIV)
2. God is Everywhere: Psalm 139:7-12, 7 Where can
I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I
make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle
on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right
hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the
night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
Commentary: Psalm
139:7-12, There is
no way to hide from God. Life should
be honored because it has significance in the presence of God. Several
images paint a clear picture regarding the expanse of God’s connection to human
life. Wherever one looks, whether to
the heavens or the depths, God is there.
The psalmist writes, “If I rise on the wings of dawn, if I settle on
the far side of the sea”
(v. 9). Human life is completely open to God. There are no secrets with God. Yet, the greatest affirmation here is
that “your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast” (v. 10). There is
no darkness with God. The psalmist affirms that it is as if darkness and
light are the same for God. There is no hiding from God at all.
3. Respect for Life: Psalm
139:13-18, 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was
made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the
earth, 16 your eyes
saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your
book before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to
count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am
still with you.
Commentary: Psalm 139:13-18, “You knit
me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13). The image
of God as knitting human beings together is powerful. In light
of God’s creative work, our human life depends upon God from beginning to
end. Human life is a gift from a loving God. Because of this, we are to be
stewards of the gift of life. What we do to ourselves and others matters.
Everyone is created by God and should be valued. Our life before birth is
God’s gift as surely as life after birth. As Christians we must define
respect for life by the clear teaching of Scripture.
4. POINT: 1) God
Knows Us: He
knows and loves us completely, as we seek to love God in the same intimate
way that God loves us, we must extend this love to our fellow human
beings. 2) God is
Everywhere: God’s
Omnipresence is good news. He is with us, from generation to generation. 3) Respect for Life: We must affirm life, protect life, and appreciate life.
When you feel worthless or even begin to hate ourselves, remember that God’s
Spirit is ready and willing to work within you.
