Today's Devotion: Psalm 139:17 (New International Version) - How precious to [a] me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

David is giving praise to the Lord.

Today's Comments: This passage makes me think of a parallel passage in the book of Job. See Job 42: 1 - Then Job replied to the LORD : 2 "I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted. 3 You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

There are so many things that we know about God, We find those things out by reading scripture and by discussing philosophy, history, and theology. Yet, even in today's society, there is so much that we can find out, but there is so little we know. Or, if we do know, we do not put into practice those things that God expects of us.
