God has amazing and incommunicable attributes. We must respond to the excellence of God's character for God's glory (cf. Daniel 11.32; Jeremiah 9.32). It is not just about serving God, but knowing Him. There three incommunicable attributes of God which are demonstrated in Psalm 139: 1) Omniscience (all-knowing) - God knows our actions (cf. Job 34.21; Proverbs 5.21; Jeremiah 16.17), thoughts (Ezekiel 11.5; 2 Corinthians 10.5), and words. Don't live as if God does not know. This is practical atheism. 2) Omnipresence (always with you) - The fact that God is always with you is both comforting and convicting. When we do sin, we do so in His face (see Jeremiah 3.23; Isaiah 66.1; Acts 17.27; Deuteronomy 39.24). You cannot run from God's presence (e.g., Jonah). You cannot hide from God (e.g., Aachen). 3) Omnipotence - See Job 42.2; Jeremiah 32.17. God's power over us is demonstrated in our most secret condition (being formed in the womb) and in our most inward parts. How shall we respond? Our response should be of praise: Praise for creating and praise for compassion. Our response should be of purity (see Psalm 37.1). Our response should be of prayer (see Psalm 139.23-24). We ask God to search us not so that He will see what we are like. He knows what we are like. God must turn on the searchlight to show us what we are like!
