God, You have searched me and known me!
Words and deed, thoughts and motives, You
know me inside out. You know when I sit
down to relax and when I rise up to engage
in varied activities of life. You know
what I am thinking and even anticipate my
thoughts. You see me when I walk and when
I sit down. You keep constant watch over
me, Hallelujah! What a glorious God You
are. You know my future as well as my past
and I am completely open to You.
“And there is no creature hidden from Your
sight, but all things are naked and open
to the eyes of Him to whom we must give
account.” (Heb 4:13)
Because Your knowledge of me is so
inconceivably absolute, You guard me
behind and before. Your hand is ever and
always laid protectively upon me. Thank
You Lord, for Your love and protection.
Not only are You omniscient, You are
omnipresent as well, how you can be in all
places at one time boggles my mind; You
word teaches me that You are a Person who
is separate and distinct from Your
creation. There is no place I can hide
from You.
“If I take the wings of the morning and
dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there Your hand shall lead me, and
Your right hand shall hold me.” The
wings of the morning are an allusion to
the rays of the morning sun that streak
across the heavens from east to the west
and I would find You there waiting to
guide and uphold me. O Father, how
marvelous Your love for me. Me! A lowly
sinner, You gave up your Son for me. I
thank You Jehovah God of the Universe for
my salvation. You, O God are absolutely
inescapable,
“Your center is everywhere; Your
circumference is nowhere.”
“You formed my inward parts, You covered
me in my mothers womb.”
As I think about all the parts of my body,
the brain, with its capacity for recording
facts, sounds, odors, sights, touch, pain,
and the ability to recall, powers to make
computations, with its seemingly endless
flair for making decisions and solving
problems. All the trillion cells, and
thousands of nerve fibers, blood vessels,
bones, joints, ligaments and muscles, WOW!
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. To
think You gave me thought before You put
me into my mother’s womb is overwhelming.
The wonder of it all; You pre-thought my
existence, knowing ahead of time what my
failures would be, yet, You Lord God
Jehovah still loved me enough to give up
Your life for me.
You were with me before You put me into my
mother’s womb and You were with me the
nine months she carried me, and You are
with me today. Hallelujah! You are still
my Lord, my Sustainer, Protector, and
Guide. O Mighty God, thoroughly search
me and know my heart, to carefully test
and know my thoughts, and anxieties.
Expose every wicked way in order that I
may confess my sins and forsake them. Lead
me in the way of everlasting. “the
blood of Jesus Christ, Your Son cleanses
me from all sin.” (1 JN 1:7)
I thank You that the cleansing from sin I
experience will reach to the heights and
depths of my
Spirit, If I will
“walk in the light as He is in the light”
(1:7)
The same Spirit that fed You, Lord Jesus
will feed the life of my Spirit. Thank
You, Sweet Jesus.
“May your whole spirit, soul, and body be
preserved blameless…..” (1 Thess. 5:23)
Father, I want to be a
“living
sacrifice”
to let You have all my strength, that
have been saved and sanctified through
Jesus. (Romans 12:1)
You are the God of the morning, and God of
the late nights; the God of the mountains
peaks; and the God of the seas; and the
God whom I put all my trust and faith in.
Hallelujah!
I praise You, Yahweh God of the Universe.
Amen
