“For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it
altogether.  You have hedged me behind
and before, and laid Your hand upon me. 
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain
it.”  (Psalm 138:4-6)

Have you ever spent time
contemplating the depth and breadth of the Lord?  True, we cannot begin to understand, but let
His Word sink in and marvel that the God of all creation created you with
purpose and a call.  He knows you by
name.  It is the LORD who has marked you
as His in baptism.  It is the Lord, who
knows all things, that is calling you even now to come into His presence and
dwell with Him forever.

Lord, Guide my eyes to see and my heart to hear the truth You have always been speaking.  Lead me in the way of everlasting life.  Guide me into the life which You have created.  Teach me according to Your purposes to be humble, for You who know all things have done great things in the sight of all people.  You have accomplished all things for Your purpose and glory.

Lord Jesus, God in the flesh, You
have come that those who believe might have life everlasting.  Guide me in the way You already know I need
to go.  Keep me from those things which
would cause me to resist or reject Your guidance.  Give me an obedient heart.  Lead me, O Savior, in the good way of faith,
for You know all that is before me.  Keep
my eyes upon You always.  Amen.
