Know therefore that the LORD your God is God;

He is the faithful God,

keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him

and keep His commands.

I will not forget you.

I have inscribed you

on the palms of my hands.

isaiah 49: 15-16

Sunday, January 25, 2009

 O LORD, You have searched me
       and You know me.

  You know when I sit and when I rise;
       You perceive my thoughts from afar.

  You discern my going out and my lying down;
       You are familiar with all my ways.

  Before a word is on my tongue
       You know it completely, O LORD.

  You hem me in—behind and before;
       You have laid your hand upon me.

  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
       too lofty for me to attain.

  Where can I go from Your Spirit?
       Where can I flee from Your presence?

  If I go up to the heavens, You are there;
       if I make my bed in the depths,  You are there.

  If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
       if I settle on the far side of the sea,

  even there Your hand will guide me,
       Your right hand will hold me fast.

  If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
       and the light become night around me,"

  even the darkness will not be dark to You;
       the night will shine like the day,
       for darkness is as light to 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.

  My frame was not hidden from You
       when I was made in the secret place.
       When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

  Your eyes saw my unformed body.
       All the days ordained for me
       were written in Your book
       before one of them came to be.

  How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!
       How vast is the sum of them!

  Were I to count them,
       they would outnumber the grains of sand.
       When I awake,
       I am still with You.

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

 See if there is any offensive way in me,
       and lead me in the way everlasting.

Exodus 14:14

The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.

Monday, January 12, 2008

it is of no purpose

for you to rise up early

and go to bed late,

eating the bread of worry.

for God gives sleep

to His beloved.

i've decided to feature a Scripture verse on mondays.  i hope it's an encouragement.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
