Just a couple of days ago, I was just having a blah day! Dee (my best friend & roommate for 9 years) and I would call this a ROOZY MOOD. It's okay you don't have to understand what that means. Anyways, there was absolutley nothing wrong - this mood typically means I need some time alone, just me and my DADDY (yes, my heavenly DADDY). The world can suck the life right out of you and that's why He says to set your minds on things ABOVE, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2).
So it was just me, DADDY and my SWORD (Bible). I turned to Psalm 139 and read it for the 7,333,777 time and it never ceases to amaze me how this scripture speaks volumes about how sweet, awesome, cool, and caring Our Lord is! That's when the Lord put it on my heart to memorize all of Psalm 139 and Rance is going to do the same! In fact, we worked on the first 3 verses in the car this morning on the way to work (hold us accountable to this please!).
Read these verses SLOWLY...
1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
Re-read the verses again.
How beautiful is it that God is into the details of our lives. Every.little.detail! He knows when we sit down and rise up. He knows our every word. He cares about the condition of our heart, the decisions we make, the actions we take, the thoughts we think!
I love the LAST verse because it says exactly what I'm thinking after I read and dwell on the first 5 verses...
How unbelievable it is to read that my FATHER in heaven knows & cares for me so much that literally this kind of love...His infinite love...is simply too wonderful to even grasp...and He feels this way about you too...
