Edges of His Ways...

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it.--Psalm 139:6

Many, O Lord, my God, are Your wonderful works.  Your thoughts toward me are precious and great is the sum of them.  More in number than the sand.  I am never forgotten...Whether I wake or sleep I am always with You.  Even when I made my bed in the depths of hell...you were there.  You are my infinite God!   I cannot search out the depths of You, nor can I find Your limits.  Your measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.  You do as You please...No one can hinder You. You gather the wind in Your fists and bind up the waters in a garment and establish the very ends of the earth.  How little a portion of You do I understand!!   I am as a beast before You.   I see only the edges of Your ways and hear but a small whisper of Your power.  O the depths of the riches of both Your wisdom and knowledge.  How unsearchable are Your judgments and Your ways past finding out. 

Forgive me, Father, when I arrogantly talk of things which I understand not.  You are the God of knowledge and by You actions are weighed.  Before You formed me, You knew me and ordained all of my days.   You made Your goodness and mercy to follow me and overruled all in my life for my good and Your glory.   I was your treasure....ME!!!   You loved me with an everlasting love even when I was yet Your enemy.  I am a woman who has been forgiven much...Help me, Father, to love much!   You possessed and guarded my heart even before my eyes saw the light of day.  You granted me life and favor and Your care has preserved my spirit.   Truly, I am but a child before you, without understanding. 

I will not be afraid then, for You are with me....You have hedged me behind and before.  You take my hand in Yours and Your truth sets me free.  You even make my darkness light about me and in the multitude of my thoughts within,Your comforts delight my soul.  I want to know Your love, Father, which passes knowledge...I want to  know Your fullness in the depths of my soul!!   How wonderful is Your lovingkindness, O God!  Therefore, the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.  I will be satisfied with the fatness of Your house and I will drink of the rivers of Your pleasures.  With You is a fountain of life and in Your light, I see light.
