Psalm 139 is a strong passage about our worth and value. It is a passage about hope and the omnipresence of God. The first verse sets the tone for the entire chapter. God has known me. There was never a time when he did not know me.

chiastic psalm‚ I came across a large picture of the moon. Suspended in the blackness of space‚ I studied its massive size and numerous craters formed by meteors and asteroids. With a radius of over a thousand miles‚ truly‚ the moon is no ordinary creation.
