This Psalm has got to be my most favorite of them all! It is the one that astounds me; comforts me; just all round blesses me!
This morning the tears come again! So much pain in so many I love!
I remember being there! I remember having no where else to turn; coming to the end of me, and that's where I found Him! The One who created me! The One who knew me better than I knew myself! The one who accepted me just as I was; broken, damaged goods; with nothing to offer but me! At that point I had no pride and that what just where I needed to be to find The One Who gave it all for me!
"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth." (Psalms 139:7-15 NKJV)
If you are facing a storm so big you cannot see the end; if it is so dark that no light shines through those black clouds; pease know there is One who can see you and loves you and wants to reach down and illuminate your darkness! Only He can wipe it away and give hope for the hopeless situation you are in!
If you are looking at no where else to turn you are right where you need to be, because THAT is where HE is!!!!
"Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You." (Psalms 139:16-18 NKJV)
"When I awake I am still with You!" Oh what a wonderful place to be and to know such peace!
To know through every fiber of my being that He is in control of everything I do, everything I love, everywhere I go, and that He is always there, no matter where I am; wow! There are no words to convey the comfort and love He instills in those who believe and trust in Him!
If you have been told that you have all this, but you are not "feeling" it, then there is sin that is blocking the flow! Humble yourself, ask Him to show you and then repent of what is separating you from Your Creator!
This storm you are facing is the very thing He will use to bring you to Him! Don't put it off any longer! Surrender and live for the first time in your life!
THEN you WILL praise God in the storm!!!! With all that is within you!!!! What awaits you, is beyond all imagination!
Even so - MARANATHA!
