Psalms 139

verse 1-3 "O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path, and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways."

As I read through this passage of scripture once a month I'm absolutely amazed what the Lord shows me. To think out of ALL the people in the world he knows my down times, when I'm up, he understands my thoughts that are unspoken. He compasses my path and protects me. Just the idea that the Lord cares enough for us as individuals can be overwhelming, but you know ever since 2008 when my former Pastor, Bro Jeff Owens asked me to read this chapter ever day for one month it's been amazing what I've learned not only about myself but about how God DOES care for me!

Skipping ahead to another verse, verse 14 "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works: and that my soul knoweth right well."

You, not the person next to you, not your brother or sister, but YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made! You are someone! You are Loved by our Lord! You are Perfect in God's eyes! What more do we need to know. Live daily for the Lord and know that no matter what people say, YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE!

Verse 23 and 24, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

This should be every Christians prayer to ask God to search your heart and to know your thoughts. Look for that which you can change in your life. We are not Perfect, we make mistakes and we need to be willing to change no matter what. God loves us and wants the best for his children!
