Daily Bible Nugget #361, Psalm 139:6

The Nugget:

Psalm 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Psalm 139:6 Your knowledge is beyond my comprehension;
it is so far beyond me, I am unable to fathom it.(NET Bible)

My Comment:

The tenth attribute of God revealed in the Bible out of my list of over forty attributes of God is the attribute of incomprehensibility. Our finite minds cannot fully grasp His infinite character. Yet we surely can grasp what God has revealed about Himself in His written word found only in the Bible. So, though we only “know in part,” yet what we can know of God from the Bible is certainly true. To get to know God better, be sure to read the Bible for yourself. Better yet, do more than read the Bible. Study the Bible. I furnish below the cross references I have gathered for Psalm 139:6. Since the Bible usually does not explain all about a subject at one place, it is most helpful to find the related verses that explain the verse you are studying. A concordance won’t work for this type of study very well because it is just an index of words. What you need to track down is not only passages in the Bible that use the same words, but the many more passages which speak of the same subject using different words. That is why you should always make use of cross references in your Bible study.

For those who desire to DIG DEEPER into this subject:

(1) Consult the cross references given in Nelson’s Cross Reference Guide to the Bible on page 642 for Psalm 139:6.

(2) Consult the cross references given in The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge on page 685 or in Logos 5 or 6 Bible software for Psalm 139:6.

(3) Consult the cross references given in the original Treasury of Scripture Knowledge on page 404 of the OT or on line at www.blueletterbible.org for Psalm 139:6.

(3) Most people today do not have access to those three print resources, so I have posted cross references for this passage as I have developed them even more completely for your study as given below:
