Ps 139 literally brings tears of thanksgiving, tears of relief, tears of joy, tears of awe and tears of the certain hope of coming home to my eyes. Ps 139 brings my heart home. It brings my heart right to my Father and I relax...my journey is over...my striving is over. In Him, I find rest. In Him, I don’t have to pretend, I don’t have to worry, I don’t have to watch my back because He has laid His hand upon me and hedged me behind and before. Such blessed relief to read the words of this Psalm. You know my heart...You know everything about me and You love me anyway...Your thoughts toward me remain precious. You desire never to leave me and are ALWAYS with me. I can’t shake You. You read my heart, test my life and You lead me in the way everlasting. I will praise You, for I am Your beloved...fearfully and wonderfully made and so well-loved by my Father in Heaven.

Letting Him Lead...
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;—Psalm 139:13-14
Your hands have made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.--Psalm 119:73
His hands have made me...His hands have shaped me! As it says in Psalm 139, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. My Lord, my God and Father, is acquainted with all my ways. He knows what I am going to say before I say it. He hedges me behind and before. His presence is inescapable. His right hand upholds me and even when I think the darkness is going to fall on me... even the night is light about me. He planned my days when as yet there were none of them. All of them are written in His book. His thoughts toward me are precious and cannot be counted....more in number the Psalmist says than the sand.

My God knows all about me...my thoughts, my anxieties, the way that I take...and it is HE that leads me in the way that is everlasting.
I am an open book to Him and He LOVES what He sees! Why would I not submit to Him completely and be completely enveloped in His love. God is omniscience and omnipresence...that is such a comfort! When each of my children were babies I can remember watching them as they played...not wanting to miss a precious moment of it. I love thinking that our God is like that! Life is made up of thousands of moments...each one our Lord has planned for us. Don't miss any of what He has planned for you by going your own way...let Him lead.
