“The LORD is in heaven. But He WATCHES OVER those who are free of pride. Trouble is all around me, but Lord, YOU KEEP ME ALIVE. You REACH OUT YOUR HAND to put a stop to the anger of my enemies. WITH YOUR POWERFUL RIGHT HAND, YOU SAVE ME. LORD, you will do EVERYTHING YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR ME. LORD, your faithful love continues forever. You have done SO MUCH for us. Don’t stop now.” (Psalms 138:6-8)
O LORD, you have examined my heart, and YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and follow me. YOU HOLD ME IN YOUR HAND.” (Psalms 139:1-5)
“Lord, YOU MADE ALL THE DELICATE INNER PARTS OF MY BODY (In The Origin of Species, Darwin said, “To suppose that the eye with all its uniqueness for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of shapes and colors, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I FREELY CONFESS, ABSURD IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE.” It had to have been created by a supreme intelligence!) and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. YOU WATCHED ME as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. YOU SAW ME before I was born. EVERY DAY of my life was RECORDED IN YOUR BOOK. EVERY MOMENT was laid out BEFORE a single day had passed. HOW PRECIOUS ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT ME, O GOD. They cannot be numbered!” (Psalms 139:13-17) God has a perfect plan for each of our lives, we just need to ASK HIM to show it to us. PURSUE A MORE INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD!!!
