Thought For Today - April 17
Safe in the Arms of Jesus! - By: Robert A Searles
Because I am a child of God; because I have been forgiven, and
purchased by the precious blood of Christ from the realm of the evil
one, Satan, I can be sure that - "though I walk in the midst of trouble,
thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the
wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me, the Lord will
perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever;
forsake not the works of thine own hands." Psalm 138: 7, 8. The Lord
will never forsake the works of his own hand, and those whom he has
redeemed.
No one is
beyond the sight and knowledge of God. No one can hide from God. No one
can keep a secret from God. He knows everything we do, every thought we
think, and every motive of our heart. We may be able to deceive our
fellowman, but not so with God. He knows who has genuine faith and
confidence in him, and who is a hypocrite. The knowledge of God is
wonderful, beyond any human comprehension, but he is willing to impart
his knowledge and wisdom to us if we will seek him and ask him for
wisdom.
"O Lord, thou
hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my down sitting and mine
uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my
path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there
is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy
presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed
in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and
dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead
me, and thy right hand shall hold me." Psalm 139: 1-10.
