Isaiah 24-26, 2 Corinthians 11: 16-33, Psalm 139: 1-10
Psalm 139: 1-4 (ESV)
“O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I
sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out
my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a
word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.”
I love verses 1 through 4 from Psalm 139. David tells us that
Father-God has searched and knows him. He knows our every action, and he knows and
understands our inner life and our mind. We can rely and trust on Father-God
and the Holy Spirit to guide us because they know where we are going and lead us
in the right direction. Father-God knows us so intimately that he knows our words
before we say them.
I know there was a time in my life when I didn’t like that
Father-God was intimate with me. I wanted to be independent, and I wanted to
have my own privacy. I didn’t want a God who watched so closely over me like my
parents. But now, I am so grateful that Father-God knows me so well that I can
rely on him for guidance and advice. He knows much better than I do what I like
and what I don’t like. And I know Father-God loves me and only wants the best
for me. I didn’t know that for a long time because of what I was taught in the
churches I attended, who told me I was a sinner who had to continually repent.
Now I attend a church that emphasizes how much Father-God loves me, and how I
am entitled to every promise he made to his people in the Bible. And that when I
was born again, I became a new person and the old sinful me died. And most importantly,
that Father-God created me and will always love me, no matter how many times I
fall short. I know for a fact that can never be shaken that Father-God loves me
and always has my best interests at heart.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on these Bible verses,
and through your faith in Jesus Christ you want a Father-God who knows you
inside and out and still loves you, please pray this prayer out loud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now,
I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am
clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
