Psalm
139:2
Thou
knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar
off.
Peter
and Jeanne had been through a lot together. Peter's wife had died a few years
before, and Jeanne's husband had left her. They had spent many long hours
talking to each other, pulling each other through dismal times. They had grown
so close that they knew each other's thoughts and moods without a word passing
between them. In time they decided to marry, and theirs was a match to truly
honor God. Their love was a fine example of how wonderful love can be.
We
need someone to turn to who knows us and who we can trust. God is that someone.
Perhaps we will find an earthly partner who understands us so well, but even if
we don't, God will hear us, He will know us, and He will comfort us. He is
never too busy for us, and He knows our hearts before we even call upon Him.
Talk to the Lord. Take your deepest desires to Him, and rejoice in the
blessings He has to give.
Prayer:
I need Your counsel, Father. Thank You for knowing me so well, and for being
there when I need You. Watch over me, Lord, and fill me with the assurance of
Your nearness. Amen.
