Weaving Inward Parts

[S] Psalm 139:13,23,24 --
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother's womb.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.

[O] God is the one who put me together in my mother's womb so wonderfully and skillfully for His pleasure.  To think that we some how came about into this world is a very irresponsible position to have because we came into this world with a specific purpose and a detailed design in each inward part.  The author of this psalm realizes this and surrenders his life for the creator of this universe to search and lead his life eternally.

[A] I certainly do not thank God for forming my inward parts in such an orderly fashion that I can live each day as how I was purposed.  Any disharmony in such a wonderful design means my body will not function well or normally.  So I thank God for such a design, and to lead me in the everlasting way for me to be a pleasure in His eyes.  I cannot do this just because I wanted to but because God allows it.

[P] Dear Father, Your wonderful design is what gets me going each day.  Please search my heart and bring healing wherever necessary so I may bring out Your glory through my life at all times.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

My Calling Before I Was Called

[S] Jeremiah 1:5 --
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
And before you were born I consecrated you;
I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."

[O] What a powerful statement that only God can make to us.  God who dwells in the higher dimension surpasses the timeline of this world to bring us into this world with a delicately planned purpose for each one of us.  Generally speaking, this purpose is to speak and convey His heart to this world.  When Jeremiah was called by God, he immediately claims that God must've made a mistake (but He never makes mistakes).

[A] I must acknowledge the fact that God created me for a specific purpose in this world during my lifespan because if I don't, then I can easily fall into the mode of finding my own way through this world; and worse yet, when God calls me to carry out my specific purpose created for, I will try to avoid it because it does not fit my own plans.

[P] Dear Father, thank You for creating me the way I am and in the direction my life is going now with Your guidance.  Please continue to mold me and use me and call me into the path You designed for me to follow.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

Highway Builder

[S] Isaiah 49:11 --
11 "I will make all My mountains a road,
And My highways will be raised up.

[O] When I think of mountains, I usually think of the terrains that are rough and harsh in some cases for man to travel (or hike) on.  But God says He will make His mountains a road even upgrading them to be highway.  Now I'm envisioning highways being raised up out of the tall and fearful mountains signifying how God will tame the wild and roughness of my selfish desires to be His highways to carry out His message of love to many as I can.

[A] As God claims these to be His mountains, I need to bow down to Him for His sovereign reign over this world I live in.  There is nothing that He cannot change or control.  I need not put Him in a little box so I can watch Him but rather He is above all watching how I live in this world He created for me.

[P] Dear Father, I praise You for creating this wonderful world for me to live in.  Forgive me for not recognizing that while abusing it in ways never intended by You.  May I begin to live in accord with Your amazing works of raising up highways from the mountains so that my life will raise up super highways to carry Your word throughout this world.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
