Psalm 139:7-12
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will cover me,
And the night will be the only light around me,”
12 Even the darkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You,
But the night shines as bright as the day;
Darkness and light are alike to You.
Lord thank You for this new day. I am grateful there is nowhere I can go that You aren't with me. Even waking up sick today, You are with me. You are mighty and awesome Lord. Today I ask for Your wisdom, healing and that you would guide my steps on Your path and in Your will. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Both of our boys have been sick since New Year's Eve and last night it caught up to me. They had viral upper respiratory infections mixed with some stomach stuff. Knocked them out for about three whole days and they started feeling better yesterday. I'm praying, since I just returned to work from the holidays, what I have isn't that.
Today, I simply prayed and walked through Psalm 139 with the Lord. It's my favorite Psalm. The Lord always gives me such peace and strength through it. Verses 7-12 connected on a deep level to yesterday's quiet time in John 11:38-40 as well. The fact that Jesus was there with Martha and Mary at the tomb, the fourth day after the death of their brother. He was there with them when hope had run out.
I am grateful He is with me right now. I know who He is. I know what He can do. I believe it and I will not allow the storm to obscure the fact He is with me. I pray that whether sickness is healed, or He walks me through it, all of it be for His glory and praise to Him.
Christian, what a beautiful thing to know as His child that He can absolutely heal our sickness, but even if He doesn't, He will hold us in His hand and walk us through every step of it, never to be alone, never to be hopeless.
Note: Today's art depicts how I feel. Just bleh...
You are loved. You are prayed over. You are not alone.
