Psalm 139:1-12 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
Without Jesus' work on the cross, probably we will never have the privilege to come as close as we are now with You today Lord. The knowledge of Your presence with us anywhere we are, anywhere we go, is really a very strong encouragement to walk on in faith with You. In Your Word, You reveal to us that we can even cast whatever burdens we have to You, and You’ll carry them for us.
Why will You send Your Son to die for us, promise to walk with us, shield us from harm, and carry our burdens? It was all for love. You love me Father, a love that conquers everything. Your love changed me. You loved me before I love You. You found me when I'm lost.
I love You Father. Your everlasting love Lord keeps my life in place. Bind all the sins and thoughts that the devil always tries to plant in me Lord. I trust You entirely. Whenever I realise my own inadequacies, I have faith that You are just a prayer away.
You are always with me, and I can be as close to You as I want to. Father I want You to know that I want to be right beside You Lord. I place my life in Your loving arms.
