Part of the Lectionary readings for this week focus on the beautiful passage from Psalm 139. In his paraphrase, Eugene Peterson sums up the splendour of God's love for us, but stating: "this is too much, too wonderful - I can't take it all in!"
"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!" - Psalm 139:1-6
God's presence is indeed an amazing gift to us all. Sometimes we just have to shake our heads and marvel at the Good News - it is too much to take in.
Living in Grace
