Manna Mondays

Good Monday Morning Everyone!

We're starting our week out on the right foot, by making scripture memory a priority. What's better for our hearts and minds than to be filled with the word of God? Nothing! The more we begin our week(s) like this, the better our attitude and focus will be throughout the week.

Okay, we're memorzing Psalm 139. So, to to help our memorization, buy a spiral notecard holder(one that flips) and write down each verse in order. Take it with you wherever you go. This is a great way to help you look at each verse and memorize each one in order. Keep it close to you and every now and then take it out and focus on trying to say verse by verse aloud.
The more verses we add, the harder it will become. But don't give up. That's why the spiral notecard holder will come in handy. Stick to it and ask the LORD to help you.

Here's what we've memorized so far:

1 LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
3 You discern my going out and and my lying down,
And are familiar with all my ways.

4 "Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all. "

Psalm 139 is a Psalm of David. The focus of this Psalm is God's Omnipresence and Omniscience. (His presence and His ability to know everything) Today's verse speaks about how God knows what we are going to say before we even say it aloud. Think about it. Who knows you like God? Who knows what you are going to say before you even say a word?

A cross reference to Psalm 139:4 is Hebrew 4:13 which says, "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, ....." This verse also speaks about God's ability to know everything and see everything. Every part of your life, HE knows it. He sees it. There is nothing HE is not aware of. Just when we have our pity parties and think no one cares or no one knows us, no one understands.....we can't say that because scripture tells us GOD knows it all. Everything. We are never out of His sight and never out of His care.

As you go about your week, remember, even before you open your mouth, God knows what you are going to say. Because He knows you, He also loves you. You are His prized creation. Stand in awe of His perfect knowledge.

Embrace Him and treasure the truth that He really really knows you!
