Psalm 139: Walking with the One Who Knows You

“Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I am your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we’re taking a very different approach to Psalm 139.

Psalm 139, traditionally attributed to David, is a meditation on God’s intimate knowledge of, and presence with, each individual.

It reveals a God who knows the Psalmist completely and is present in every moment of life.

In the Historical Context: In Israelite thought, God’s omniscience and omnipresence were central beliefs.

This Psalm reflects the understanding that God is actively involved in His creation and attentive to each person’s life.

The themes of divine knowledge and intimacy are central. The Psalmist marvels at God’s knowledge of him, from his movements to his thoughts and even his formation in the womb.

The Psalm is deeply personal, expressing awe at the closeness of God’s presence.

Instead of just reading and reflecting, I invite you to join me on an imaginative journey—a walk with God where you’ll experience what it’s like to be fully known and loved.

Let’s step into this Psalm together and discover what it means to be seen by the One who understands every part of us.”

“Picture this: You’re in a quiet, peaceful place—maybe a path in a forest,

a quiet shoreline, or somewhere that feels like home. You’re not alone; God is walking with you, at your side, completely present.

As you walk, you feel this deep, calming presence, and you know that God is here not as a distant observer but as someone who understands every thought and every feeling.

He speaks, and His words feel like they’re filling every part of you:

‘I’ve searched you, and I know you.

I know when you sit and when you rise.

Before you even speak, I understand your thoughts.

Wherever you go, I am there.’

As you hear these words, imagine each part sinking in. You don’t have to explain yourself, put on a brave face, or pretend to be anything you’re not. You are fully known, right here, right now.”

“How does it feel to be indeed known in this way?

To not have to hold back or hide?

In this journey, there’s no judgment, no shame—just a safe space to be exactly who you are. God knows the parts of us that we’re proud of and wish we could change, and still, He’s walking right beside us.

Psalm 139 says, ‘Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Where can I flee from Your presence?’

The answer is simple—nowhere. God’s love is like a gentle, constant presence that fills even our darkest corners.

Imagine how it would feel if, every day, you could walk with this kind of understanding, knowing that you’re accepted exactly as you are.”

“Let’s make this personal. This week, find a quiet place where you can imagine yourself taking this walk with God.

Maybe it’s in a park, by a lake, or even in your living room. Spend five minutes just sitting with the idea that God knows you—every detail.

Bring your worries, your hopes, and even your doubts. Let God’s presence remind you that you’re completely seen and loved.

If you’d like, write down anything that comes up during this time. It could be a word, a feeling, or even a question you want to ask God.

Keep it somewhere you can see, as a reminder that you’re never alone on this journey.”

I want to narrate my own experience of closeness with the Lord. God knew what I was and who I was. He was there before me in my life’s journey.

He knew my every move. The Lord loved me as I was, and I just surrendered my life to him, and he took care of me. Through this deep experience, I feel so close to Him.

“Let’s pray together.

God, thank You for walking with us, for knowing us in ways we don’t even know ourselves.

Help us to rest in the truth that we are fully seen and loved, even when we don’t understand everything.

Let this knowledge free us to live with courage and peace. Guide us as we walk with You each day, knowing that wherever we go, You are there. Amen.

Episode 08 Let Your Light Shine Before Others

Welcome, dear listeners, to our eighth episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." This is Season 2, and I'm your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today we explore a profound topic: "Let Your Light Shine Before Others." The Light Within. Let's begin by understanding the significance of the light within us. In the Gospel of Matthew 5:16, Jesus tells us, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." This verse reminds us that the light within us isn't meant to be hidden. It's a beacon of goodness that reflects God's glory. Picture yourself through an experience. Sometimes you may have taken a step with kindness and compassion, like a beacon. You might have shown that simple acts of love, like helping a neighbor in need, not only brighten someone's day but also glorify God through our actions. How can you share our light with others?
