Read  Psalm 139

As you prepare your heart for our church gathering tomorrow think through Psalm 139.  What a joy to think that God knows you intimately. What a blessing to think that even if we were to go to the heights  of creation or to depths, God would still be there. Even if we were to be in the darkest place,

God would still see us as though it were light.

How comforting to think that we can’t hide from God’s Spirit? He is with us. He is there through thick and thin. When storm clouds gather, when hurricanes howl, when the road beneath becomes rocky, God’s Spirit is there with us. How joyful to know that tomorrow we will stand together in the presence of God Almighty who will never forsake us, never abandon us. He will walk with us until we are home in heavenly glory.

How comforting to know that we don’t need to put on a false face with God. He knows us intimately because He knitts us together in the womb. He knows us because He designed us before the creation of the world.

How precious are God’s thoughts. How treasured His word. How perfect His law is. Like the Psalmist rejoice in God’s word. Praise Him and sing His glories. Turn to His word and be comforted. Like the Psalmist, ask God to search you and to know your heart.

Prayer:-

ÿ You can pray Psalm 139 as a prayer of your own. Read it and pray it to God.

ÿ Spend time praising God

ÿ Pray that our service tomorrow will bring glory and honour to God as we listen to Him through the Word, as we sing praises to Him and offer up our adorations and praise.

ÿ Pray that our brothers and sisters around the world who meet in persecuted lands will be filled with joy as they gather before the Lord. Pray that the persecutors would see this joy and be drawn to the Lord Jesus for salvation.

Ring another  believer today and ask them how you can be praying for them in the light of today’s passage. Assure them you will pray and then spend time praying for them.
