Psalm 139 I Needed a Word from the Lord

Today is possibly going to be the Birthday of my fourth grandson.  I opened my Bible because I needed a Word from the Lord.  I read Psalm 139.  I know that God is with me, with Christa, and with Baby K.  His word assured me that He is in control.  His timing is not always our timing but His timing will be perfect. 

I am going to quote the words which I read in verses 1-7 and 13-18:  “O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.  You know when I sit down or when I stand up.  You know my every thought when far away.  You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest.  Every moment you know where I am.  You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.  You both precede and follow me.  You place your hand of blessing on my head.  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, to great for me to know.  I can never escape from your Spirit!  I can never get away from your presence! ……………You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me in my mother’s womb.  Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!  Your workmanship is marvelous and how well I know it.  You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.  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.  How precious are your thoughts about me O God!  They are innumerable!  I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!  And when I wake in the morning you are still with me”.   

Our children are on loan to us from God.  I am so grateful to Him for the gifts of our precious grandsons.  As He loved us first; He also knew them first.  I ask the Lord to bless Baby K in the same way his mother, Christa, was prayed for and blessed while yet in my womb.  I daily ask for His blessings to be upon each of my grandsons, my daughters, and my son-in-laws.  I want to pass on the spiritual legacy which was passed down to me.

Praise the Lord!  God wants our Praise.  God is praised throughout the Psalms.  The final five Psalms begin with the words, “Praise the Lord”.  Psalm 147: 13 tells me that the Lord has “fortified the bars of your gates and blessed your children within you”.  I claim this promise for Christa as we anxiously await the arrival of Baby K.  Praise the Lord!
