We are at the start of the summer season and we are taking three weeks off from our regularly scheduled episodes. However, you won't be left empty handed. I wanted to give you a little bit encouragement over the next few weeks with just some thoughts as you walk into summer. Sometimes when seasons change we kind of look at our life and we wonder where we've been, where we're going. Hope you enjoy.
Psalm 139:1-14 | O Eternal One, You have explored my heart and know exactly who I am; You even know the small details like when I take a seat and when I stand up again. Even when I am far away, You know what I’m thinking.You observe my wanderings and my sleeping, my waking and my dreaming, and You know everything I do in more detail than even I know.You know what I’m going to say long before I say it. It is true, Eternal One, that You know everything and everyone. You have surrounded me on every side, behind me and before me, and You have placed Your hand gently on my shoulder. It is the most amazing feeling to know how deeply You know me, inside and out; the realization of it is so great that I cannot comprehend it.
Can I go anywhere apart from Your Spirit? Is there anywhere I can go to escape Your watchful presence? If I go up into heaven, You are there. If I make my bed in the realm of the dead, You are there.If I ride on the wings of morning, if I make my home in the most isolated part of the ocean,Even then You will be there to guide me; Your right hand will embrace me, for You are always there.Even if I am afraid and think to myself, “There is no doubt that the darkness will swallow me, the light around me will soon be turned to night,”You can see in the dark, for it is not dark to Your eyes. For You the night is just as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to Your eyes. For You shaped me, inside and out. You knitted me together in my mother’s womb long before I took my first breath.I will offer You my grateful heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with wonder and awe.
