Steps of Faith for the Deaf
11525
Hello,
King David is talking to God:
O Lord, you have looked into my heart—-and you know everything about me.
You know when I sit down—-and when I get up.
You know my every thought.
You plan the path ahead of me —-and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every minute you know where I am.
You know what I am going to say—even before I say it.
You go before me and—-follow after me.
You put your hand of blessing upon my head.
To think about this is so wonderful;— it is almost too much for me to understand.
I can never get away from your Spirit.
I can never get away from your presence.
If I go up into the heavens—you are there.
If I go down to where the dead are—-you are there.
If I ride on wings of the morning,—or go down to the farthest ocean —-even there—-your hand will lead me—-and your strength will hold me.
You made all of the parts of my body—–even the most inner parts.
You made me in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me with such a wonderful body.
Your workmanship is wonderful.
You watched me as I grew in the dark womb of my mother.
You saw me before I was born.
Everyday of my life was already written in your book.
You knew everyday I would live—-even before I lived.
Your thoughts about me are precious and dear.
Your thoughts about me are more than sand grains of the sea.
When I wake up in the morning—you are still with me.
Look carefully in me—and know my thoughts.
See if there is anything in me that you do not like—-then lead me in the path of everlasting life. Psalm 139
——————————————
Do you ever think about this—– that God thinks about you?
Do you understand that you are on God’s mind?
David said that all the time—-everywhere—-God was with him.
He said that God knew all about him—–even when he was still growing in his mother.
He said that all of his days——were already known to God before David had even lived.
Nothing that happens to you—–is a surprise to God.
He thinks about you.
He wants you to think about him.
Good-bye for now. I’ll write again. Sincerely, Joyce Webb
