What have you to fear? God is with you. Let the words of David’s thoughts from Psalm 139 be a reminder of how true this song is and shall be for now until the end of the age.

Lord, you have examined me.
You know me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I stand up.
Even from far away, you comprehend my plans.
3 You study my traveling and resting.
You are thoroughly familiar with all my ways.
4 There isn’t a word on my tongue, Lord,
that you don’t already know completely.
5 You surround me—front and back.
You put your hand on me.
6 That kind of knowledge is too much for me;
it’s so high above me that I can’t fathom it.
7 Where could I go to get away from your spirit?
Where could I go to escape your presence?
8 If I went up to heaven, you would be there.
If I went down to the grave,[a] you would be there too!
9 If I could fly on the wings of dawn,
stopping to rest only on the far side of the ocean—
10 even there your hand would guide me;
even there your strong hand would hold me tight!
11 If I said, “The darkness will definitely hide me;
the light will become night around me,”
12 even then the darkness isn’t too dark for you!
Nighttime would shine bright as day,
because darkness is the same as light to you!

No amount of anything in this world will give you what you need. What you need comes from the Father. Only the love and grace of Jesus Christ can fill the needs of your desires of your heart and your very soul. It is quite comforting knowing that no matter what we go through in this life that God will never let go of us. NO! He wont! You are always in the palm of God’s hand.

Today Father in Heaven we pray that you hold us in your grace and wash us in your spirit and help us to know that you are always with us! Thank you Father for your faithful love and forgiveness in our lives. Help us to always praise you in all that we do.

Amen.

Day 7: Wonder

Many images can and more than likely do pop into our minds when considering the word, “Wonder.” For me today I am in awe and wonder of God and his massive love and grace that is so explicitly expressed in Psalm 139. No matter where we go, whether to Heaven or Hell, God’s love and grace is always present with us because God himself is always present with us.

That is something that I am continually in awe and wonder of.

That God is so massive that He is over all creation in the ability to not just create but to be continually creating, and yet He is present with each of us intimately.

Awe and Wonder.

The creation in our world.

My family.

My best friend and wife.

Lord, I confess that I am overwhelmed by your blessings at the wake of every second. Praise the Lord Almighty for the blessings that He profusely rains down upon us. I think it is best expressed in the simple confession of:

“My cup overflows!”

Holy and Awesome God, thank you for your massive and enveloping love and grace and may we draw more near so that it is constantly enveloping every part of our lives!

Amen.
