Berry Patch Devotions in 2020 - Day 333
Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from the group Building 429 singing … You Won’t Be Shaken … poignantly singing of how we, as Christians, can ALWAYS trust that God’s grace has us covered with His protective and loving care.
==============
Highlight Passage: Psalm 139:16 [ESV] ...
16 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.
… God had our days numbered before the beginning of our time on this earth.
=============
Highlight Passage [Context]: … Psalm 139 [ESV] … USE THIS LINK …
King David poetically and musically writes of God knowing all about us before we were ever formed in the wombs of our mothers.
==============
Reference Passage: … Proverbs 3:5-6 … [ESV] …
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
… God’s promise to His people, thru Solomon, that we can ALWAYS trust God’s leading and our leaning on Him.
Reference Passage: … 1Corinthians 8:2-3 [ESV] …
2 If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.
… We need to place our faith/trust … ALWAYS … in God; because He knows all. And we don’t!!
Reference Passage: … 1Peter 5:6-7 [ESV] …
<i> 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.
… We can ALWAYS bring our cares - <u>whatever they are</u> - to a caring, all-knowing, God.
Reference Passage</u>: … 1John 3:19-20 … [ESV] …
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before Him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows everything.
… In our hearts we can KNOW - ALWAYS - that God knows all about our circumstances.
My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Alyson Kieda, AT THIS LINK relates how she and her family grieved when her dad breathed his last. But then they were able to celebrate his life and home-going because they trusted that God had her dad’s life planned to bring him home to Jesus before time even began (see Psalm 139).
It might be a good idea for any of us Christians to meditate on King David’s song in Psalm 139 regularly, … if not each morning; … because it would help us to realize that God knew, and fashioned, our lives even before the beginning of time; … and that there is no where we can go that He doesn’t have us protected.
So, … let’s all take in the linked song and meditate on the Scriptures above and then rest easy today, KNOWING and TRUSTING, that God’s got us under His wings (see photo).
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for always keeping me under Your wings of protection
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me to trust that God has us covered today … and tomorrow too! … Amen
