2 Samuel 2; 1 Chronicles 11; Psalm 142; Matthew 14
Then I Pray To You, O LORD.
I Say, “You Are My Place Of Refuge.
You Are All I Really Want In Life.
Scripture
Psalm 142
I say, “You are my place of refuge.
You are all I really want in life.
Observation
This was the key to King David’s greatness. God was
enough for David. Nothing was more important to David.
What is most important to you? What is most important to
me? If nothing is more important to us than our relationship with God then we
will do just fine is this life and the one after that!
God wants to bless us. He wants to walk through life with
us. He wants to help us.
But He also demands to be number “One” in our lives He
doesn’t not accept being number 2 or 3 or 15th.
Is He everything to you?
And he will
give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom
of God your primary concern. Matthew 6:33
Application
God is all that I need today. He is all I really want in
life.
Prayer
O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything
about me. You know when I sit down or
stand up. You know my every thought
when far away. You chart the path ahead
of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You
know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You both precede and
follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me, too great for me to know! I can never escape from your
spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are
there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the
farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will
support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to
become night— but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night
shines as bright as day. Darkness and
light are both alike to you. You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so
wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it. You
watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in
the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was
recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had
passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! I
can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in
the morning, you are still with me! Psalm 139:1-24
