Where Can I Go From Your Spirit?

[S] Psalm 139:1-7 (NIV) --

¹ O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

 ² You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

 ³ You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

 ⁴ Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

 ⁵ You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

 ⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

 ⁷ Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

[O] This psalm clearly tells me that I am not just one out of 6 billion people living on earth but a special one whom God takes full (100%) interest and care.  As things happen all around me in and out of my control, God is in full control of my life down to when I sit down or stand up, etc.  This confirmation was just what I needed to be reminded of.  This psalm uplifted me so much that I am so grateful for His Word and His presence in my life.

[A] Where canI go from Your Spirit?  I am fully content being in your presence.  I am learning to be content in You.

[P] Dear God, Your love amazed me once again today.  My heart is overwhelmed and overflowing with Your presence.  Thank You so much for doing that for me.  I am going to life my life in full joy because of that.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

Promised Treasured Possession

[S] Deuteronomy 27:18-19 --
¹⁸And the LORD has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. ¹⁹ He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised.

[O] God says I'm His treasured possession as He promised!  This statement alone just made my day.  However there is one condition to this -- that I am to keep all His commands.  So, as long as I stick to His commands, I will remain as His treasured possession.  Futhermore, He will set me in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations.  How I desire to be above all nations and I don't have to be a worldly known, highly visible person as long as I follow His commands because how He will set me above all is really up to Him according to His timing.

[A] Be happy about how I am God's treasured possession when I read the Bible, and apply them into my life.  Being a Christian is not just a chore of doing all the right things but being content of knowing how God sees me.

[P] Dear God, allow me to be content, happy and joyful about how You see me trying to follow You every day.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
