Daily Devotional Wednesday Wisdom with Total Apex Media | September 3, 2025

It’s Wednesday’s daily devotion. Let’s dig deep today. When I was much younger, a scripture stood out to me as intriguing. It’s Psalm 139:2, which says, “ Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.” Of course, this verse refers to our omniscient and omnipresent God. However, as a youth, I wondered if God really saw everything I did.

Did God know my every thought? Wasn’t He busy with other concerns? Wow, such a lack of privacy that implied! However, after growing to understand God’s character, I learned this scripture doesn’t mean God is there to judge every misstep. Instead, it speaks of God knowing us better than we know ourselves. He knows us intimately and loves us immeasurably. Let’s take a look at His steadfast love in today’s daily devotion.

The Greatness of God

This psalm by David is noted as showcasing God’s majestic power. David presents Him as imminent, lofty, and grand. There is obviously no other god that can surpass His preeminence and sovereignty. David starts this psalm by speaking of how God has searched and known him. God has acquainted Himself with all of David’s ways.

Although David wrote this psalm, he didn’t write it for himself alone. It applies to each of us. God knows each of us in every way. He knows our every move because He is our Creator. We are His handiwork, and He cares for us. Jesus said that the hairs on our head are all numbered.

Assuring the disciples that God cares deeply for His creation, Jesus drops this nugget: God knows when a sparrow falls from the sky, and we are more valuable to Him than sparrows. So, in your daily devotion time, thank God for His care for you.

God’s Knowledge is Unmatched

As David progresses in this psalm, he’s overwhelmed at the limitless knowledge of God. He is more than impressed at the God who knows every word on his tongue. God has covered him completely with His love and protection. Similarly, in the Book of Job, Satan is aware that God has a hedge of protection surrounding Job, His servant.

David confesses that this knowledge of God’s supremacy is overwhelming. He realizes there’s nowhere to hide from God, whom he is so intricately connected to.

⁷ Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

¹⁰ Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

David realizes that not even darkness can hide him from God’s all-seeing eye. He knows that even when He was in his mother’s womb, God was there. God stated in Jeremiah 1:5 that before He formed Jeremiah in his mother’s womb, He knew him. Tell yourself in today’s daily devotion that God knew you as well.

In your daily devotion, meditate on the greatness of God. The same God who created the sun, moon, and stars loves you so much that all your ways are known to him. And God will perfect the things that concern you, according to Psalm 138:8. Your concerns are God’s concerns. Trust God and His love for you. There is no need to run or hide. only abide in Him.

Praise Belongs to Him

All of David’s musings lead him to praise God, who made and sustained him. God made Himself known to David; the Creator of heaven and earth revealed Himself personally. When David thinks of God’s thoughts toward him in verse 17, he exclaims, “How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!”

In your daily devotion today, shout unto God for His thoughts toward you. Jeremiah 29:11 proclaims that God’s thoughts toward you are not evil but good.

Asking God to Search Us

As David ends this psalm, He asks God to search his heart and thoughts. He wants God to lead him in righteousness. He doesn’t want any evil to consume him and draw his attention away from God. He wants to wholeheartedly follow God because He understands that He is the lover of his soul.

No enemy or evil can consume him, as God is with David always. In your daily devotion, know that God is with you; He has promised never to leave or forsake you.

Rest in Him

There’s no need to worry that God stalks your every move to shame or expose you. Rest in the knowledge that God loves you. And because of His great love for you, He is acquainted with you intimately. And His thoughts toward you are good. No one will ever love you more than God. So, rejoice and be glad during this daily devotion time, knowing that your God knows all your thoughts and ways. And He loves you completely.
