“My salvation and my honor DEPEND ON GOD; He is my mighty rock, my refuge. TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES, you people; POUR OUT YOUR HEARTS TO HIM, for God is our refuge.” (Psa. 62:7-8) We are talking about an Omniscient (all knowing), Omnipresent (everywhere at all times), and Omnipotent (all powerful) and all loving God: “For by Him [Jesus] ALL THINGS WERE CREATED, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the SUPREMACY (domination).” (Col. 1:16-18) We must understand that our God is so POWERFUL, SUPREME AND ALMIGHTY; we indeed serve an awesome God who has chosen us to be His children, who are we to be loved so astonishingly, oh how we must learn to trust Him!!! “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, WHAT IS MAN THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM…” (Psa. 8:3-4) I do not doubt our Abba Father’s love for us, and I do not question it, I am so exceedingly grateful for His eternal love and care! “O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. YOU SEARCH OUT MY PATH and my lying down and ARE ACQUAINTED WITH ALL MY WAYS. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.” (Psa. 139:1-4) When we examine these verses it becomes obvious that our Awesome God knows EACH ONE OF US very personally and intimately. He has plans for our lives and we must “seek HIS face” so we will know His purpose for our lives! “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I PRAISE YOU, FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, EVERY ONE OF THEM, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” (Psa. 139:13-16)
YOU FORMED OUR INWARD PARTS; YOU KNITTED US TOGETHER IN OUR MOTHER’S WOMB. WE PRAISE YOU, BECAUSE WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE!
