Thank You For Making Me So Wonderfully Complex!

Your Workmanship Is Marvelous –

How Well I Know It.

Scripture

Psalm 139

1 O Lord, you have examined my heart
    and know everything about me.

2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
    You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

3 You see me when I travel
    and when I rest at home.
    You know everything I do.

4 You know what I am going to say
    even before I say it, Lord.

5 You go before me and follow me.
    You place your hand of blessing on my head.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
    too great for me to understand!

7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
    I can never get away from your presence!

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
    if I go down to the grave,  you are there.

9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
    if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
    and your strength will support me.

11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
    and the light around me to become night—

12     but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
    Darkness and light are the same to you.

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
    and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

16 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.

17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
    They cannot be numbered!

18 I can’t even count them;
    they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
    you are still with me! ...

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
    and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Observation

I love Psalm 139! Don't you! I included most of the Psalm in this blog. It is so good! You might have got up this morning feeling unloved. You might be draggin, saggin, and baggin this morning! Maybe life has been rough on you. Maybe you need some encouragement as you start out this week. Read Psalm 139.

If you think your life is bad (and I am not saying that it is not) you should walk with me around the hospital and visit with patients and their families like I had the opportunity to do yesterday. To many of the patients that I visited yesterday I had to say, “We can't understand why these things happen to us, but we can be sure of this, we have a Heavenly Father who is good and He loves us. We must trust Him.

Psalm 139 is perfect for you today.

Application

When I can't see God's Hand in what is going on I will trust His heart.

How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are the God of all comfort and compassion. I pray that You help those families that I talked to yesterday who are going through such difficult times. I pray for healing. You are the Great Physician! Nothing is too hard for You. Nothing is impossible for You!

I pray for anyone who might be reading this blog that is discouraged today. I pray that You will lift them up. Show them Your mighty power. Fill them with Your Spirit.
