All Knowing

“O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.” (Psalm 139:1)

In his 139th Psalms King David began with a wise prayer to the omniscient, omnipresent, holy Creator God, the King of kings. David’s purpose in this prayer is to reflects on and praises God for His majestic attributes, it leads him, as it should us, to look into his relationship with God.

David wrote that God knows: “Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thoughts a far off. Psalms 139:2 He also knows our destination and habits, “Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. (Psalms 139:3). Thus we must be careful how we apply our body members in serving Him. Be careful little mouth what you say. Psalms 139:4 “For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.”

You see, He knows our words better than we do ourselves. In everything, God knows and guides (v. 5). “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me” (v. 6), Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. David claims, that neither he nor we, trapped as we are in this flesh, can comprehend this omniscience of God.

There is no where on earth or in the heavens that we can go to escape His omnipresence (v. 7 reads) Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

There’s no hiding place down here neither in heaven nor in hell (v. 8 reads). “If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. Not to the air or the sea.” (v. 9 reads) “If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;



Neither darkness nor light prevents God’s eyes from centering upon us.(vv. 11-12) "If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.” Nothing can shield us from His presence. In all, He leads and guides (v. 10 continues) "Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Realizing this awsome power and ever presence of God should compel us to praise and thankfulness as it did David, especially as it relates to our own creation and growth. God has known us, knows us intimately and will always know us. Praise be to God! God knew us in the womb (Psalms 139:13) “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb” (vv.14-16). He knew and planned all the events of our lives. God controlled their running. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. “How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!” (v. 17 & 18). 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. They are innumerable. No man can count the extent of the numbers. There is no math formula that can represent such a vast accounting. David wondered that the wixked was still living in such sin. (Psalms 139 19 – 20) 19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

Meditation and personal application of God’s word makes David painfully and sadly aware of his own sinfulness, If we study it as we should, it should us as well. Recognition of God’s nature must bring us to a place of submission and a desire for holiness, as well as a yearning to follow fully the omniscient God. “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (vv. 23-24).

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
