Psalm 139:1-4<\/strong><\/p>\n

O LORD, You have searched me and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways.\u00a0 Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O LORD.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many years ago during a Sunday morning worship service, Zane, our oldest grandson, was sitting next to Joyce. As I was halfway into the sermon, Zane leaned over and asked, \u201cGran, is Papa talking about me?\u201d She assured him that it was the Holy Spirit using Papa\u2019s words to speak to his heart.<\/p>\n

Many times I have received responses from readers of the Daily-E-Votional remarking that the words in a particular daily message was just for them. It assures me that the Lord delivers my words to the heart that needs them.<\/p>\n

I find comfort in the realization that the Lord knows all of our tomorrows just as well as He knows our todays. We try to guess what lies ahead for us, but only the Lord has our future in His hands — as well as our present.<\/p>\n

Here is the vital question: Are we trying to make our own choices with our limited view of what lies ahead? That is like driving down the freeway at 70 miles per hour with our eyes closed.\u00a0\u00a0I would rather prayerfully seek the guidance of the Lord than stubbornly demand my own way.<\/p>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
