Devotion for Saturday, August 31, 2019

“My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and
skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  Your eyes saw my substance, being yet
unformed.  And in Your book they all were
written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. (Psalm
139: 15-16)

The Lord knows you.  He knew you before you came into being.  You do not think and therefore exist.  You exist because you were wonderfully made
by the One who made all things.  Come
into the Lord’s presence and dwell with the One who has always known you.  Come and be comforted in the truth of His
eternal plan for you.  He knows all of
your days and they will come about according to His purpose.

Lord, I can only marvel at the truth of what You have declared.  Guide me in Your goodness to live into the
life to which You have called me.  Help
me to see through the obstacles of this life and know that I am now and always
in Your hands.  You are the One who
marvelously knits all things together. 
Join me to those who come into Your love and long for the day when we
meet You face to face.

Lord Jesus, all things came into
being through You and apart from You nothing came into being that has
being.  Guide me in the truth You have
spoken from the beginning.  Lead me in
the narrow way You have established. 
Lift me into the life You have made possible through grace.  In all things, guide me in the mercy and
goodness of the Father to do what is pleasing in His sight.  Amen.
