Psalm 139:1-4
“O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.”
During my Air Force career I had one assignment as a Missile Launch Control Officer in Missouri. Some of the missile launch complexes were up to 100 miles from our base. It was a long drive by car so we were sometimes transported by helicopter.
I love to ride in helicopters as they are low enough and slow enough to get a clear picture of what is going on below you. It was especially interesting to notice hills or blind curves with traffic approaching. I thought how interesting it would be if we had contact with the driver of a vehicle below and be able to warn of oncoming traffic that was over a hill or around a curve.
Repeatedly in the Bible we are told that the Lord knows our way and desires to lead us in the way we should go. If that is the case (and it is) why do we so often demand to do things our way?
I must confess that over the years I have not feasted upon the Word of God the way I should—even though I have absolute confidence that it reveals God’s plan and purpose for my life. I have made a new covenant to spend more time searching His Word than ever before. Do you know what I am finding? He knows what is over the next hill and around the next curve. I hereby turn over the control of my life to Him. Lead on, Lord Jesus!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
