Everything I Do, See or Think
I am glad that others don’t know me the way the Lord knows me. He knows my thoughts that are sometimes really petty and sad. He also knows any jealousy or envy that enters my mind. He knows when lustful thoughts fly through or even stay a minute. He knows all about me and loves me anyway. I’m not sure there is another person on the planet that can love like He loves. His ability forgive is mind-boggling. His relentless pursuit of my heart is illogical in human understanding, but He keeps up the pursuit.
I read one of my favorite intimate Psalms from King David this morning. He was in a deep spiritual zone when he penned this Psalm. It has been blessing my soul for years. Check this out….
1 O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139:1-6,23-24 NLT)
I think it’s wise to acknowledge that there is nowhere to escape the Presence of the Lord. He is present everywhere. He doesn’t need a nap in the afternoon like I do. He doesn’t need a good night’s sleep. He is Almighty God. I am guilty of putting human characteristics and attributes upon Him. He made me in His Image, but He is not bound by space, time, gravity or any other physical or spiritual limitations. He is beyond anyone or anything I can fathom. I have learned to trust Him even when I can’t wrap my brain around all the superior attributes of Him. I have walked closely with Him the past several years of my life and my trust in Him has grown. He as walked with me through some of the darkest nights of my soul. He has walked with me through major choices and decisions. I lean on Him daily to direct my path in what many would call simple choices or decisions.
I can’t imagine my life without Him. He gives me direction when I don’t know where to go. He gives me hope when I’m discouraged. He gives me joy in the midst of sadness. He is the keeper and defender of my heart. He knows me like no one else…the good, bad and ugly, and He loves me anyway. #Thankful
Pressing On!
