After just 2 full weeks at my new job at Generation Station, I`m questioning God about my purpose for being there? Or am I just complaining and resisting the humbling lessons that He is walking me through? Psalm 139:1-4 O LORD, you have searched me and know 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 laying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O LORD, you know it completely. Really, Father God you already knew we would have this conversation; are you merely reminding me that you are large and in charge? Yes, I know that I have free will, but I have also learned that I don`t always make the best choices without first consulting you!
5-6 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. Father God, does that mean that my pea-brain can`t even fathom the wonders that you have planned for me?
7-10 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 limit of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast. Father God, thank you for never leaving me, I`ve gotten used to having you to love and trust! 11-12 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. Father God, as I listened to strongholds and lies the spirit of evil tried to gain ground in my soul, attempting to distract me from the job that you have set before me. I thank you, for the truth has set me free. Yes, I was tempted but not held in bondage, I know the joy of your love and understanding and I know to turn to your word, the BIBLE.
13-18 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 depth of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. 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. Thank you, Heavenly Father, yes you only create the best and I am made in your image, to bring you glory here on earth. You know me from the inside out there is nothing that I can say, think or feel that you don`t already know about me! Father, as I sit here and write I feel the presence of your love surrounding me, bringing me great inner peace, thank you.
19-22 O that you would kill the wicked, O God, and that the bloodthirsty would depart from me----those who speak of you maliciously, and lift themselves up against you for evil! Do I hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loath those who rise up against you? I count them my enemies. Father, have you placed me at Generation Station to let the light of your love shine into the darkness in which your precious children abide. Have you placed me in their midst as a grandmother figure for your honor and glory? Are there lessons of good and bad that I need to share? Will my testimony and great faith in you penetrate their souls? Father, how will you use me?
23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Glorious God, thank you for this time to share my thoughts with you, please continue to correct my faults for your glory, use me up! Your daughter, Linda!
Father God, thank you for your words, yes I see that they are just as effective today as when they where written. Amen.
