Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 You have searched me, Lord,
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, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
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.
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,[a] 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.
Scripture also referred too: Psalm 139:23-24 and Isaiah 43:25

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TIME
We age in a life time
Time takes it’s toll
Running late or on time
We watch the clock
Time is money
Time is of the essence
Get me to the church on time
Time for when we eat or rest or play
The waking of day, the closing of night is dictated by time
Time is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, months, years, millennia
Speed is measured in time
Vast distances across space are measured in the time it takes light to travel …
God set us in time
Yet God is not time
And Gods timing is not ours
God first said ‘let there be light’,
before setting the clock
Maybe we should be looking at the light
… rather than our watches
