This Psalm never gets old as this very truth will follow me all the days of my life. Every single thing that happens to me, that has happened and that will happen points back to Psalm 139:16...I love every version because no matter how GOD has breathed it into existence and no matter how many have translated it...it has proven to be the PEACE and HOPE that sustains me. I do NOT have to worry about my Future! Yes, HE KNOWS every single day of our lives and HE KNEW them before they came to be.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were
written in your book before one of
them came to be. NIV
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded
in your book. Every moment was
laid out before a single day had
passed. NLT
Your eyes saw my unformed
substance; in your book were
written, every one of them, the
days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of
them. NASB
Thine eyes did see my substance,
yet being unperfect; and in thy
book all my members were written,
which in continuance were
fashioned, when as yet there was
none of them. KJ Bible
I say this only to say that I came to YOU after committing a life of sin, I was the woman at the well (John 4) and living a life apart from YOU. Not knowing YOUR Son Jesus and not making any real difference with the life YOU gave me. Then like her, YOU told me the wretched details of my life. It was not pretty BUT it was ALL true. FREEDOM at last. Free from the hands of satan and free to serve YOU! #Glory Hallelujah!!!
It wasn't (until) Your Son entered into my heart by way of Your Spirit's pursuit of me. And with that blessed gift of Salvation...WOW...what an #amazing journey.
I still remember that first bible study at Grace Brethren back in 2011. It was a Thursday night and the women warmly welcomed me and all of my "Jesus Joy!" The first homework assignment was to tell Jesus what I wanted. In my mind, I was going to "describe the kind of man I #wanted..." Godly, of course and the rest...you know...non-smoker, family oriented, tender, honest...blah-blah-blah...LOL
Unknown to me that the Holy Spirit would take hold of the pen and write what I #needed...to KNOW YOU and Grow in the Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding of Your Will.
You God are continually showing me that YOU want the best for me...Your best. I want that too! You have richly blessed my life and have given me the honor and privilege to not only be Your beloved daughter but to be apart of Your Kingdom work.
2 Corinthians 9:6 But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (King James Bible)
Your GRACE sent me to England last summer to minister to the Missionaries and refugees. This year, You sent me to Japan to encourage the Missionaries and I just returned from Ghana, being apart of the School Ministry, Medical Missions and Prayer Team. None of these trips I desired, but planned long, long ago by You.
Via travel, prayer and financial love offerings, YOU have used me to sow seeds in Alaska, Haiti, India, Uganda, England, Japan, Ghana and many other countries. Only YOU know what's next!
GOD YOU Reign and You don't need my permission, but I surrender to YOU continuing to direct every single day that I have left on this earth. If it's going to be anything like the past 9 years, I'm all in. I love YOU and I pray that one person would read this and put their faith in the fact that YOU LORD GOD are a Loving God and that YOUR Plans for us are GOOD!
Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Matthew 10:39 NIV
-Yet, another day to PRAISE Him...
