5 You have encircled me;
you have placed your hand on me.
6 This wondrous knowledge is beyond me.
It is lofty; I am unable to reach it. (Psalm 139:5-6 CSB)

Can you remember back to a time when a parent or respected elder put a reassuring hand on your back. Maybe as a parent you have done this with your children. A touch that says, you have this, and I have you.

We all need these reassurances in life and who better to feel a touch from than God. He places his hands upon us, holding us up, reassuring us and conveying both love and knowledge when we are in need.

“Lord, you have placed your reassuring hand upon me. This wonderful knowledge is beyond me!”
