A Peek Into My Life

Psalms 139:1-6

O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought 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.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me! I was just listening to a message by Tim Cruse on the home, and at the beginning of the sermon, he read these verses! He pointed out something that I hadn't really thought about before in the way that he said it. When the Lord saved us, He saved us from our past failures, our present failures, and future failures (which I realized that), but you know what? He knew that even after we get saved that we are going to fail...there is still none good in us...he went on to say...the Christian life is not how good I can be, but it is daily Christ living in me and through me...in other words, just like in salvation, it is not what I can do, it is Jesus alone, the same is true as we live our Christian life...it is Jesus...It is through Him that we can do all things (Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.)! It is through Him we have victory (1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.)! It is through Him that we are counted as good (Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Yes, such knowledge it too wonderful for me!!! That He, loves me even in my sin and failures has given me His righteousness, the victory, and the ability to do ALL things through Him!
