Weekly Encouragement

"Adonai, You searched me and know me.

Whenever I sit down or stand up, You know it.

You discern my thinking from afar.

You observe my journeying and my resting

and You are familiar with all my ways.

Even before a word is on my tongue,

behold, Adonai, You know all about it.

You hemmed me in behind and before,

and laid Your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from Your Ruach?

Where can I flee from Your presence?

If I go up to heaven, You are there,

and if I make my bed in Sheol,

look, You are there too.

If I take the wings of the dawn

and settle on the other side of the sea,

even there Your hand will lead me,

and Your right hand will lay hold of me."

-Psalm 139:1-10


This psalm is an encouragement of G-d's constancy and faithfulness. He formed all of creation with His word, including ourselves. He is ever present and always watching over His people. We cannot escape Him and may we never desire to be far from Him. No matter where we find ourselves or the circumstance we may be in, help is always there. He loves us beyond the limits of creation and has given His Ruach so that we may always draw near.
