Vol. 20 No. 41 | October 15, 2018
In the first five verses of Psalm 139, David marvels at the reality that God knows his every thought and action and is constantly aware of where he is. He says:
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain. (Psalm 139:1-6, NIV)
The Message states it this way:
“This is too much, too wonderful—
I can’t take it all in!”
This phrase has been filtering my thoughts over the last few weeks.
It is too much sometimes, too wonderful to take it all in- that God answers our prayers, that we are able to have children who love the Lord, honor Him with their lives and guide their children to do the same.
When I think of how much God loves me, how many sins He has forgiven, how much mercy He has shown me, and the blessings He continues to give me, it overwhelms me.
When I consider the beauty and wonders of the earth that God has created for us to enjoy, it leaves me in awe.
When I contemplate all that God is doing in my life and in the lives of the people around me, it amazes me.
When I wrap my arms around one of my five beautiful granddaughters, I’m overcome with joy and gratitude.
When a friend takes the time to call and see how I’m doing, it humbles me.
When I realize how many people God has placed in my life who love me, bless me, and encourage me, I can hardly take it all in.
Take the time this week to take it all in….and thank the Lord for the countless blessings he has given you.
