Converge 2025 // Psalm 139:1-24 – If we want to discover our identity, we cannot do so apart from accepting God’s wisdom as Creator. What appear to be random components of our lives are actually providential pieces of God’s plan.
Omniscient (139:1-6)
- God knows you better than you know yourself.
- God’s intimate knowledge of you should both comfort and convict.
Omnipresent (139:7-12)
- You will never outrun God (so stop trying and wearing yourself out).
- It only feels dark in the areas of your life that you attempt to conceal from God.
Omnipotent (139:13-18)
- If you think you were made deficient, you claim the Maker to be incompetent.
- The filterless version of you is fully loved by God.
Omniholy (139:19-24)
- You better check yourself to see if you are sitting in what you claim to be standing against.
- It’s dangerous to think too highly or too lowly of yourself.
Reminders
- There’s nothing wrong with how God made you.
- There’s nothing wrong with how God made you, but there’s plenty wrong with what sin did to you.
- You cannot discover your identity apart from God’s.
- Stop buying the lie that this world can fix what’s broken in you.
- What appear to be random components of your life are providential pieces of God’s plan.
- If you ignore God’s design, you’ll never know what to do with all these seemingly disconnected pieces.
- Altering God’s design isn’t going to make you more of yourself.
- Rebelling against God’s standard is not going to give you peace.
- Trust that the One who knows you the best can help you the most.
