Thought For Today - June 15, 2025
Kept Secure in the Love and Care of God!
Robert A. Searles
"O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my down
sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thoughts 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. If I
say, surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light
about me. Yea the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth
as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou
hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I
will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are
thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139: 1-14.
How wonderful and comforting it is to know and have the assurance that
we are always in God's thoughts, and that he is ever mindful of us and
is thinking of us. He knows our down sitting and uprising and knows all
our thoughts afar off.
We cannot escape from God's spirit, nor
God's care for us, nor do we want to. When we awake in the morning he is
immediately with us, and when we lay our head on our pillow at night,
we know that all is well for he gives his angels charge over us and
keeps us while we sleep. Because God loves us so much and takes such
good care of us, let us love God with our whole heart and soul as he
gives us the grace to do so, and let us love his word and want to be
obedient to his commandments.
Let us love one another as Christ
loves us, and let us care for one another as God cares for us and meets
our needs. Let us hate the things that God hates and love the things
that he loves.
God has a will and plan for each of our lives from
the very beginning of our conception. All aspects of our lives, our
personality, and each step that we would take were contained in the
embryo of our beginning in God.
Are we living in the light of
God's love and care, and forgiveness, and God's strength, or are we
dwelling in darkness as those that have been long dead? As we look at
ourselves this morning, are we oppressed and burdened by all the cares
and worries of this life. Is it a difficult thing for us to arise this
morning and to face the challenges of a new day? Is the enemy’s hand
heavy upon us? Are we cast down in our soul and heavy hearted? It may be
that our spirit is overwhelmed within us. Our hearts may seem to be
desolate.
We need to remember all the wonderful works of our God
in ages past, and even in our own lives, how God has come through for us
and lifted our spirits and eased our burdens. God is merciful and kind
and an ever present comfort and help in time of trouble and need. We
need to stretch forth our hands unto God and call out to him , for he is
ever ready to hear us and help us if we thirst after him and his
righteousness. He will hear us speedily. All we need to do is to believe
and trust. And he will cause us to hear his loving kindness this, and
every morning. He will, if we will allow him, show us the right road to
take to avoid all the pitfalls and traps of our enemy for his own sake
because he loves us.
"Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the
morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I
should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver me, O Lord, from
mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me." Psalm 143: 8,9.
