| TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "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." (Psalm 139:9-10)
TODAY'S WORD , not only is God all knowing (or omniscient), He is also omnipresent, which means He is present everywhere. Psalm 139:7-10 describes this great quality of God, Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, 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. Now again, the omnipresence of God can be comforting or frightening. It all depends on what side of the fence you are on. You see, if you are not right with God and you are trying to run from Him, I want you to know today it isn't going to work. Wherever you go He will be waiting for you. Jonah found this out. "I will escape from God," he said. But God was waiting for Him. You cannot escape from God's presence.
If you are trying to run from God, that is a cause for concern. It means that your efforts will meet with failure. But if you are walking with God, you'll find great comfort, because you will never be alone. When you walk through your fiery trials, when you go through your times of difficulty, when you have to weather life's storms, God is there. Whenever God lets His children go through a fiery trial, He always keeps one eye on them and one eye on the thermostat. He will not give us more than we can handle. He is there with you. A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Dear Lord, I thank you for this day. I thank you that I can see or hear your Word this morning. Let me give thanks all day for what I have, especially your eternal love, and forgive me this day when I go astray, by my thoughts or actions; my only aim is to please you, to know and do your will. Guide my every step. Help me to live this day with wisdom and discretion so that I may not fall short of your glory. Protect me from danger, both in the world and in my attitude. Give me the gift of a clear mind, that I might hear the quiet voice of your Spirit. Help to massage away resentments and blame for things gone by, that would eat my energy and poison my mind; but instead, help me to look to the moment, to what I can do, to work for the future. And let me never become frustrated where I lack control of events, for you are in charge, not me; and I put my entire faith in your power, your knowledge, your plan for humanity. Your are my direction, Lord. Help me to keep this in mind for today, in Christ's name I pray, Amen. |
