2/12/09 Psalm 139:1-18

Pick the verse that speaks to you!

Scripture: O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in - behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God. How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

Observation: How marvelous is a creator that knows us before we were born, who surrounds us and guides us throughout our life.

Application: We have been created for great things by God. Take action and know that God is with you. Even in your darkest hour when you feel furthest from home God is with you.

Prayer: Thank you Lord. For creating and knowing me. For not leaving me in my darkest hour. For knowing my actions before I make them. Continue to be with me to guide me in the path you want me to go.

Yes: With a God that knows me so well, I will not worry about doing things on my own.
