He Works Out His Plans For My Life

Today I am going to write a lot of scripture from Psalm 138 and Psalm 139 in the New Living Translation. It is so beautiful that I cannot take away from the beauty of it by my much writing, so sit back and listen and speak this about yourself today. I have typed in all caps those that I especially like and speak.

Psalm 138:8
THE LORD WILL WORK OUT HIS PLANS FOR MY LIFE----FOR YOUR FAITHFUL LOVE, O LORD, ENDURES FOREVER.…

Psalm 139:1-16
O LORD, YOU HAVE EXAMINED MY HEART AND KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.
YOU KNOW WHEN I SIT DOWN OR 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, too great for me to know!
I can never escape from your spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.
I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night----but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are both alike to you.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous----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 UP IN THE MORNING, YOU ARE STILL WITH ME!

If there have ever been times in your life that you wonder if you will ever accomplish what is in your heart, remember this Psalm. He says that every day, every moment of our lives was laid out and recorded in His book before we were ever born. Sometimes I find that hard to realize when it looks like I have missed it royally or have gone on the wrong track. Yes, I do have the power of choice in my life. Yes, I do have the ability to make the wrong decision. But do you know what comforts me the most? When I miss it, He is still there. When I make the wrong turn, He is still there. He will put me back on the right path. He is guiding me into green pastures. He is leading me to a place to satisfy my soul. There is still much in my life that I want to accomplish.

Wherever you are today in your dreams, don’t give up on them. Never give up on a dream. God placed it in your heart, and He will fulfill it if you allow Him to chart your course and praise Him for the results. One of the hardest places I have ever been in my life was a time when I knew that I had missed God, even though I had prayed and sought godly counsel. After I moved into that place, I knew that I had missed God. It took me years to get back on course. But do you know what comforted me? During that time in my life, God never once condemned me. He walked with me and still used me where I was. Praise Him today for where you are and where you are going. He will perfect that which concerns you.
