Morning by Morning, May 4 - All About You
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Take me by the heart and lead me by Your Spirit into all You have for me today -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...
“For ‘In Him we live and move and have our being’” (Acts 17:28).
It’s in You that we live. It’s in You that we move. It’s in You that we have our being.
You move me and live through me. You put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart. You open the doors before me and send Your favor toward me. You’re with me always, guiding me always, into all You have for me and all You are in me.
As King David discovered long ago, I’m discovering more every day. And right now my words can’t express what I’m trying to say and to pray any better than his words, eternally recorded in Psalm 139:
“O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You discern my thoughts from far away.
You search out my path and my lying down,
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
O Lord, You know it completely.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is so high that I cannot attain it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your Presence?
If I ascend to Heaven, You are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning
and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
even there Your hand shall lead me,
and Your right hand shall hold me fast.
If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light around me become night,’
even the darkness is not dark to You;
the night is as bright as the day,
for darkness is as light to You.
For it was You who formed my inward parts;
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are Your works;
that I know very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.
In Your book were written
all the days that were formed for me,
when none of them as yet existed.
How weighty to me are Your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
I try to count them--they are more than the sand;
I come to the end--I am still with You” (Psalm 139:1-24).
Everlasting God. Ever-present God. God who sees every moment, every thought, every desire, every level and depth of my being -- and yet loves me and leads me, forgives me and empowers me to be all You’ve created me and called me to be in You.
The truth I’m discovering is that everything about me is ultimately all about You. “For in (You), (I) live and move and have my being.” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
