BEGINNING WITH OUR CREATOR…

“I am the one who created you.  I know everything about you.  I know your every movement.  All your thoughts are known to me.  I am aware of where you go moment by moment.  Before you utter a word, I know what you will say.  I hem you in; I surround you; my hand is upon you.  Where can you run from my presence?  Wherever you go, I hold you tight in my grip.  I thought you up long before I placed you in your Mother’s womb, and I determined your number of days on this earth and the places where you should live.  What I have planned for your life; what I have purposed; so that it will stand.  No person can thwart or turn back my hand.  I am leading you blindly along my unfamiliar path.  I am turning your darkness into light before you.  I am making your rough places smooth.  I never have, do not and will never forsake you.  I compel and enable you to forget and not dwell on the past.  I am doing new things in your life that you do not comprehend.  Remember, I have created you for myself.  Each of you is mine, designed to bring me praise and glory.  I deliver you from fear.  When you pass through great trouble, you will not be swept under or scorched by the searing heat, for I am in you and with you.  Power and might are in my hand, and no one can withstand me.  I know your cruel suffering, turmoil and bondage.  I end the fury of your oppressor who struck you down with unceasing blows, seeking to subdue your nation with relentless aggression.”

Psalm 139:1-10; Isaiah 14:3-7,24-27;42:16;43:1-7,13,18-21; Job 42:2; IIChronicles 20:6; Acts 17: 25-28

 

As this new year unfolds, may each of us be reminded by Almighty God, who created each one of us as a unique individual, to take our place as the creature and remember our life is in his hands to do with as he sees fit.

AND EVERYONE SAID

AMEN
