Welcome to my Blog

I just want to say a very Big welcome to everyone who had been reading this over the last five weeks. If you are here again then you are welcome and if you are new I hope you will stay and be on the journey of life with me and God.

Psalm 139          

This week I am wanting to talk about the omniscience (all-knowing) of God, and how he made us. A lot of people know their name and address and telephone number and who their parents, grandparents are. I would say that most Christians would say they love Jesus but do they KNOW him as their Maker.  I want us to look at Psalm 139 , take it apart a little bit at a time over the next 7 days and hope that we can go a little bit deeper in Gods love for us and to know more of his Father heart for his people.

I know when our children were born we were so in love with them, ( even in the middle of the night when they were screaming at us for no reason) .we just keep loving them more and more as they grow into the people the Lord  has made them.

That's how God sees you, he wants the very best for you in life and for you to know him as FATHER.




 Saturday 10th   Psalm 139 1 to 4 You know my thoughts

I remember as a child watching television programmes about who knew each other better. they would ask question about each other while one sat in a box with ear phones on etc. did you know that most people do not stay the same over the years. that is the same for us believers because Christ is at work in us for the rest of lives. In this beginning of the Psalm the writer ( David )says you know everything about me  and I bet he thought; and do you still love me??
The answer would be yes,  I do,  and still loves you. don't give up when your thoughts go a little bit weird or say some thing you should of not ( which happens to me ). He picks you up, dust you off and sends you going on another adventure of life with Him.

Sunday 11th  Psalm 139 5 to 10   He goes before you

 As I was looking at theses verses does anybody know what ''hem me in''  means?? Well I have looked and have come up with an answer.  Prolonged intense look at something or somebody. Just think back to a time in your life when you found something that you could not take your eyes off. Maybe a sea shell with its detail or  fish with its colours. You might have wanted to look at it for hours and tell everyone, Hey!,  Look at what I have found , it is beautiful! Well that's what God does with you, He looks and sees the creation He has made and shouts for all heaven to look and give their praise.

The other verse ( 6) the "wonder ''can be found in Exodus 15: 11 . how for Moses, Miriam they could not stay silent of how God had just saved their people and showed his power, majesty and splendour,  to His people. How Great is our God.


Monday 12 Th      Psalm 139  7 to 10  He is Everywhere

Ever heard the word omnipresence  ???
Well it means that God is everywhere, how can that be you say, well I say He is God. In these verses David writes that there is no where he can escape the Lord. he gives us examples of places of where we might go to get away from God but that does not work. There have been times in my life when I have just wanted to hide from God and not wanting him to see me or my sin. That's funny but true for most people but I have to say when we were doing the thing that we should not being doing. He was there watching and saying in our ear, come on don't do that I love you too much.
Verse 10 is where David does one of his famous turn around about God, at first he wants to get away and after awhile he realises that the God he serves will never let him go and will always look after him. Remember that today that the God you serve will never let you go and looks out for you.

 Tuesday 13th Psalm 139 11 to 12   even when Darkness comes He is there

This winter here in Holland we have had days when the fog ( mist ) was so thick you could not see out of your windows. If you were the Car it was like driving with a blindfold on. That's what darkness can be like,it can come so fast and so thick it feels you can not move. There is somebody who shines in the darkness and that is Jesus . I heard a story about the Christians in China and how they were in a camp  for what they believed in .  The guards did not like them so they got one of the men , made he go down to his underwear and stand outside ( -20 ).They were thinking lets see how long it takes him to freeze to death. The man just prayed Lord make me warm, then it started the heat just came from his head to his toes. So hot that the Snow around just melted, the guards were amazed and let him go back to the hut .He was in praise to his God.



Wednesday 14th Psalm 139  13 to 18  Planned Parenthood

What a wonderful thing to know that we are wanted by the Lord, today we see that He was involved in our becoming a human being. He ordained the span of my life before it was. When no one saw us, He did !  Lets remember that He is a loving Father, that wants us, loves us and that He prepares good things for us on the earth, even though the trials and testings of life are not spared from us. The life of David shows us that , I think. He meditates of those thoughts and rejoices, because he knows the Lord is for him and not against him.


Thursday 15th  Psalm  139  19 to 22

These are some strong words that are said here. It might seem a little bit hard for us to get anything valuable out of it, but I think there is something there. David speaks against the doers of unrighteousness, those who do evil deeds, of one thing we can be sure;  that God loves justice.
For I, the Lord,  love justice (Isaiah 61:8).  He wants us to do the same,  as we are created in His image,  and are to reflect His justice and righteousness in our lives. As Christians we should be known for our love , but also for our love for truth, standing up for righteousness, and for the things that are on Gods hart.




Friday 16th Psalm 139  23 and 24    On tract with God

Are you on tract with Jesus ?. Today I want to leave it short and sweet. I want to challenge you to pray this prayer and listen to what the Lord will say to you through it. Ask the Lord if there anything between you and him.Also to show you the right way to go.



Well have a wonderful week and many blessings

Love
