The Lord searches us and knows us intimately. He sees us
when we sit down and wake up. He recognizes our thoughts, even the ones we have
not even thought about yet. We will think about them tomorrow or next year, but
He already knows what they will be. He already examined the actions, which we
will take in the future, and He is personally acquainted with everything about
us.
Before we even speak a word, God knows exactly what we are
going to say. He enfolds us with His peace and covers our past and our future
with His love. This familiarity with each and every one of us is too hard for
our finite mind to comprehend. He is absolutely amazing (Psalm
139:1-6). Still, our soul yearns for Him in the night and our spirit
attentively seeks Him all day long (Isaiah 26:9).
There is no place on earth that anyone can take us, which
will be away from God's Spirit. His presence is always with us and in us. If we
are in a plane, a submarine, a horrible circumstance or the most exhilarating
event, His hand is right there to lead and protect us. His thoughts are
centered on us. These facts are so precious to us; yet equally as unfathomable (Psalm
139:17-18).
Even in our darkest hour, God's presence in our life
surrounds us with light, because darkness is not dark to the Lord. Darkness and
light are the same to Him, and everything works out according to His plan. God
formed us in our mother's womb. He wonderfully knit us together so that we
would have the personality, shape and appearance that He wanted us to have. He
made us uniquely His own (Romans 8:28; Psalm 139:7-12).
Prayer:
Father God, the soul of each person, even if they deny it,
knows without a doubt that You are our creator. You watched as our embryo
developed and You continue to watch as Your Spirit conforms us to the image of
Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). You pre-ordained every one of the
days that we will live, and You wrote them down in Your book before one of them
ever existed (Psalm 139:13-16). We give You all the praise,
honor and glory for who we are in You.
Thought for the Day:
The Lord is righteous in all of His ways, and
completely gracious in everything He does. - Psalm 145:17
