Everything

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.

Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. (Romans 12:1-2, MSG)

God is All Holy

If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. (Psalm 139:19-20

David is so passionate about the things of God that he declares that even God’s enemies are his enemies.  He wants nothing to do with those who stand against God or use His name in vain.  He wants to align himself with people who take seriously who God is and give reverence to His name.  David was simply pledging his loyalty to the Lord.  He knew how awesome God was and he couldn’t bear the thought of someone misusing, misrepresenting, or mishandling the name of God.

Do you treat God like He is All-Holy?  Do you have reverence for His name?  Do you cringe when someone misuses the name of the Lord? Read more

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. (Psalm 139:13)

I love the poetic words of David.  He did not have the fancy things that we have now a days, yet he was mesmerized by the work of God.  He knew that God created his inner heart, emotions, organs, desires, and unique talents.  He saw God as the Great Designer of his life.  “God knit him like a skilled artisan would weave a beautiful tapestry (Holman’s Commentary).”  This same God knit the very fiber of your being.  He placed in you unique talents and abilities.  He gave you your smile.  He made that precious heart of yours pump and provide oxygen to the rest of your body.  He designed you and loved you enough to make you special.  He has great things in store for you!

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14)

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks forever. (Psalm 30:11-12)

God Knows You

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13-14)

God knows you!  He knows the details of your life.  Nothing is hidden from Him!  He sees when you sit and when you rise.  He is familiar with all your ways.  He knows each word you will speak.  He was there the moment you were conceived.  He formed you in your mother’s womb.  There is no where you can go to flee from the Lord.  He is everywhere you go.  He will never leave you, never forsake you, and never let you go!

The Lord sees even your darkest days.  He promises to bring a rainbow after every storm you face.
