Small Thoughts About God

This week I've been meditating on Psalm 139.  Here are 6 things I learn from this psalm:
  1. We are fully known yet fully loved.
  2. We cannot hide from God.
  3. We are wonderfully & uniquely made.
  4. We are on God's mind - in His thoughts.
  5. We are protected when opposed.
  6. We are cleansed and led.
My overall impression of this psalm is that God is big.  Really big!  I think I (and maybe you) suffer from small thoughts about God.  Derek Kidner in his commentary on this passage says:

Any small thoughts that we may have of God are magnificently transcended by this psalm; yet for all its height and depth it remains intensely personal from first to last.

Do you ever suffer from "small thoughts about God?"  Would love to know your thoughts about Psalm 139.
