O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Psalm 139:1-6
O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.

Do you know where your kids are? Do you know what they are thinking, what's on their phone or computer? Do you know who they hang out with? This is where I went wrong, by being with the wrong crowd and engaging in things I shouldn't have been involved in!
Not so with God, who knows all and sees all in all of us! He is omnipresent, which means being present everywhere at the same time. You can run, but you can't hide from your heavenly Father. He not only knows everything about you, but He also even knows your inward thoughts, and He has hedged up our way for protection!
Maybe as kids we didn't want all of this supervision, but now as adult followers of Jesus, we welcome His protection and divine oversight over us. Praise God, we have a Father who loves us and watches over us 24/7 so that nothing can attack us or harm us!
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” even the night shall be light about me; indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You. Psalm 139:7-12
