Psalm 139 - Far Too Wonderful
by Shane & Shane (Lyric Video) | Christian
Worship Music
Find your Bible, a notebook and
writing implement. Make a cup of coffee,
tea, milk, juice or just water. Go into
your ‘prayer closet’ or just a quiet place where you will not be
disturbed. I have found a memorial bench
outside a rarely-visited local library that is a good place.
After you’re settled, spend some
time in prayer, quieting your heart and asking the Lord to give you new insight
as you read. Now, open to the Psalms and
find 139. Read it through entirely.
Read it a second time but this
time, stop after each of the 24 verses.
Write the verse number you’ve just read and then write your thoughts, for
instance:
- How did the words touch you?
- What did you learn about you and God?
- A precious realisation
- A surprising an insight
- What can you apply in your own life
- How did the Lord speak to your heart?
Make it personal. For example: 1. ‘Searched’
is PAST tense! Father you know stuff
about me from always!
When you have finished. Read through your thoughts and pray in
thanksgiving for the insights. And
enjoy!
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.
