The Intimacy of the Eternal with His Own

Psalm 139 especially speaks to the intimacy of the Eternal with
Each of His own:
"O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thoughts from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain it" (verses 1-6).

These days I feel so much of the "enclosed behind and hefore,"
"Hedged in" as another translation buts it.

While I do not particularly enjoy this time,
I can also see it as a time of protection, of provision,
His hand laid upon me that I might rest when I might not otherwise do so.

My Shepherd knows me even better than I know myself.

Later in Psalm 139 we have these verses:
"For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me together in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them" (verses 13-16).

So these are among the days that were ordained for me,
And I will rejoice and be glad therefore;
These days are not an "accident," unforeseen by the Lord
But ordained for me.
And during them I will pray as the Psalmist in 139:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart,
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way" (verses 23-24).
