The privilege of knowing someone well

(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: The sermon is based on Psalm 139 and the importance of knowing someone well in establishing a healthy relationship. The speaker uses the movie "What Women Want" as an illustration of the gift of being able to listen to what someone thinks. However, he cautions that both minds can be overwhelming and dangerous. The psalmist expresses that God knows everything about us, even our thoughts from afar. Knowing someone well is a privilege and responsibility that helps in communication and understanding their needs, desires, doubts, and fears. The psalmist also acknowledges his faults and sins, but despite that, he affirms that God's hand is upon him. The sermon ends with the example of Psalm 73, where the author expresses his doubts and struggles, but ultimately affirms his faith in God.

The psalmist in Psalm 139 recognizes that God knows him intimately and that he can express himself freely before God. God affirms, strengthens, and guides him, no matter what he is going through. The psalmist is overwhelmed by the knowledge of God's love and omnipresence, and realizes that nothing can separate him from that love. He asks God to search his heart and test his thoughts, and guide him in the eternal way. The speaker encourages us to know others as they are, just as God knows us, and to love them as God loves them. This equips us to connect with others and love them in the way God intends.

The speaker prays for God's guidance and restoration in their lives. They ask God to search their hearts, remove any wickedness, and guide them on the straight and eternal path. They trust in God's plan for their lives and leave with a sense of hope and conviction. They thank God for His love and pray for a good rest and a fulfilling day tomorrow.

Psalm 139. There are many songs that go with that psalm. There is not one more, there are many. You will remember that last Wednesday I was talking about our friendship with God, right? How to develop a solid, strong friendship with God, a friendship in which we are nourished for ourselves so that we can also have healthy friendships with other people around us.

And based on that reflection that I had on Wednesday, I could say that this is, not part number 4, but that it is a new reflection that comes out of there. And I would like to start by talking about a movie, for you who don't watch movies, I'm sure you don't watch movies, I'm the only sinner here who watches movies. That box of the devil.
