Psalm 139

Psalm 139 points out some key things,

V2. God knows all our thoughts
V3. He knows our tendencies
V4. He knows what we are going to say before it even comes to mind
V7. You cannot run away from God, He is Omnipresent (Everywhere)
V13. He is our creator and knows us personally
V14. You are a masterpiece, created by God!

Psalm 139 points us to the awesome power of God, to the great love of God and to the sovereignty of God. Then David ends with this…

Psalm 139:13-14

Search me, O God, and know my heart!
    Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting!

Have you ever prayed this before? Start your day with this prayer today. “Lord, search my heart. Show me what I am doing that is against who you are.”

The truth is that God knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows the things in life that are hidden. Things that we don’t see or don’t want to see. He already knows them. I love these verses and use them in my own life.

Be encouraged! God loves you!

God Has a Plan

Have you ever traced your family ancestry back into the past? What about 42 generations in the past? In the beginning of Matthew we see the genealogy of Jesus. But you know what else we see? We see that God has a plan . God ’s plan extends beyond generations, beyond lifetimes, beyond what we can see and understand.  “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,     neither are your ways my ways, declares the  Lord .   For as the heavens are higher than the earth,   so are my ways higher than your ways   and my thoughts than your thoughts. ” (English Standard Version, Isaiah 55:8-9). The people mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus were not perfect people. Remember the story of Jacob, who deceived his father Isaac into blessing him instead of his brother? Or what about Rahab who was a prostitute…David and Bathsheba? People are not perfect, we often make mistakes but our God can take those mistakes and somehow bring good out of them for HIS glor...

John 11-12

Recently when reading about Jesus' entry into Jerusalem (what we remember on Palm Sunday), I am challenged by the thought of those who cheered "hosanna", only a few days later, screamed "crucify Him." Those who celebrated and worshiped him, then turned their backs on Jesus, just a few days later. Shane and Shane wrote about this in their song Crucify Him . Here they reflect on how Christians turn their back on Jesus today as well.  Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=KkBtEq6SeYs   This song has been so challenging to me. I hope it is to you, as well. Ephesians 6:10-11 (ESV) Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. Stand firm in the faith, brothers and sisters.  ~Pastor Tony
