Sought and Known By God - 8/26/21

Sought and Known By God

Hey family, today I reread Psalm 139, as my devotional and a refresher from last night's Bible study. It showed me just how present God is, that He is all knowing , and as my one of pastors, Makenzie Flores, put it, "Nothing obscures the vision of the Lord." He sees all, hears all, and takes everything about us into account, because He truly and deeply loves and cares for us.

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, we confess that there ideologies that we hold, thoughts that we have thought, words that we have  said, and actions done that You see that we wish You had not, and right now we bring those to You with a repentant heart. And we humbly ask that you would give us clean hands, a pure heart, and set us on the path of righteousness. We know that many times this path will be an uphill battle, but with Your strength, grace, and peace we can and will be more than conquerors. All the glory and honor be to Him, Amen."

Psalm 139:1‭-‬24 

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. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night," even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain. Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. 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!
