Big Snow Storm

Our household is calming down. I am getting back to being my old self and the depression is going away. I am so grateful to the Lord for this and it is an answer to many prayers being send up to God on my behalf. Yesterday was our biggest snow storm of the year so far. Where we live we got 8 inches of snow. My husband went out and shoveled it all this morning. It was a heavy snow but he did alright with it. He had to do our stairs, sidewalk, and driveway. Sometimes our neighbor helps out. Hope things are going well for all who are reading this and will talk to you again soon.

Search Me O God

Psalm 139:23-24 are the last two verses we have to look at. Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you and lead me along the path of everlasting life. To me these verses seem to be a prayer. A prayer that is the kind that I would want to be said and mean it. Who know what God may bring to my mind. Am I ready to do a pray like this? Are you ready to do a pray like this?

Hate God's Enemies

Psalm 139:19-22 (New Living Translation) O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers! They blaspheme you; your enemies take your name in vain. O LORD, shouldn't I hate those who hate you? Yes, I hate them with complete hatred, for your enemies are my enemies. Hate means to dislike strongly. Do we, like the writer of Psalm 139, hate those who are our Lord's enemies? The writer of Psalm 139 did. He hated with complete hatred the enemies of the Lord!

God Thinks About Me!

God thinks about those He has created. Psalm 139:17-18 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!

I'm fearfully and wonderfully made

As I read Psalm 139:13-16 I realize that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. And since I am this I have no reason to feel insecure and to have the attitude I am inferior. See if you agree with these verses in your own life.

Psalm 139:13-16 New Living Translation

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!

I Can Never Escape From God's Spirit

Psalm 139:7-12
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.

Trying Again

It seems like when I am not doing a blog I come up with all kinds of ideas. When I start it up again all the ideas just flee away. Well, I am here again and am going to try again with a daily post. The Lord has been doing so many wonderful things in my life and I feel I need to share this with my readers.

First, I just got out of the hospital. I was in for a week. It was the longest week ever. I learned that I needed to be grateful for all the things going on in my life. Being with other people and I could see what is going on in their lives and realize that I have it real good.

Second, be thankful that I have the Lord as my Savior and Lord. Without Him and His Holy Word I don't know how I would have gotten through my stay at the hospital. I wanted to read a book and there were not any in the room where books were kept. One of the nurses said that they had a book cart so she brought it up to our floor. On the cart were many Bibles so I picked out one and turned to Psalm 139 and began reading. I read the whole chapter. There were so many things in this chapter that helped me through my stay at the hospital I thought I would share the verses in case any of you who are reading are going through some trials at this time.

I believe there is a place in which you can share if you have any comments. I would love to hear from you.

Psalm 139:1-16 New Living Translation
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.
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 will continue on with more verses tomorrow. Hope you feel the presence of the Lord as you read this post.
