Psalm 139
God knows me far beyond how I know myself. In this Psalm, David as well admits as much:
We must be in awe and respect such knowledge and not be foolhardy to think that we know better than God what is good for us in our life. I have posted various times on the futile nature of human plans and the futility of our own plans.
Scripture that talks to this futility includes:
You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. v1
God knows me far beyond how I know myself. In this Psalm, David as well admits as much:
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. v6
We must be in awe and respect such knowledge and not be foolhardy to think that we know better than God what is good for us in our life. I have posted various times on the futile nature of human plans and the futility of our own plans.
Scripture that talks to this futility includes:
"For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” Acts 5:38-39
Those who trust in themselves are fools Proverbs 28:26
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21
My Prayer: Lord, You are an awesome God and You have directed my life and blessed me far beyond what I deserve. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love and blessings. I am harsh with my words and actions, and I fail to be the man You intend for me in the house, the workplace, and elsewhere. Please forgive me Jesus. Help me overcome and turn from such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin...and serve You. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
