- The person we really are
- The person we want to be
- The person we will become
From Psalms 139
1 O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave,[a] you are there.
9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! (My personal favorite)
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
17 How precious are your thoughts about me,[b] O God.
They cannot be numbered!
18 I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
20 They blaspheme you;
your enemies misuse your name.
21 O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
He showed a really neat video at the end of the service that I have found the link to:

Sometimes the link doesn't work but I can't upload the video without having copyright issues. You can purchase it for personal use from that link.

That passage has always meant a lot to me just like the one that says your life is but a vapor that appeareth for a little while then passeth away.
Can't hide from God. You always make me pause and think, thank you.
Love mom

Kim, What a blog, It was so good to set here and read a wonderful surmon. That scripture says it all. Just what we need to remember. God knows all and He knows what is best for us. It is hard sometimes to relax and let God take care of our lives. Keep up the sermons. We heard a good one Sunday at the naz. Church. Topic ( AM I THE SAME PERSON AS I WAS LAST YEAR) hAVE I GROWEN SPIRITUALY, IF NOT, WHY NOT? He built his message around this. Love Grandma
thank you for sharing. no matter what is going on there's no hiding from our one true friend. and the video always makes me tear up...the song and the images really touch me, because it is amazing that if it was all just for me, He still would have done it.
thanks again for sharing, I needed that today.
loveya,
sarah
