Psalm 139, Psalms- 140: 1 – 8; 12 & 13 and Psalm 141

Psalms 139: 1 – 6
GOD has perfect knowledge of us, and all our thoughts and actions are open before HIM. It is more profitable to meditate on Divine truths, applying them to our own cases, and with hearts lifted to GOD in prayer, than with a curious or disputing frame of mind. That GOD knows all things, is omniscient; that HE is everywhere, is omnipresent; are truths acknowledged by all, yet they are seldom rightly believed in by mankind. GOD takes strict notice of every step we take, every right step and every by step. HE knows what rule we walk by, what end we walk toward, what company we walk with. When I am withdrawn from all company, thou knowest what I have in my heart. There is not a vain word, not a good word, but thou knowest from what thought it came, and with what design it was uttered. Wherever we are, we are under the eye and hand of GOD. We cannot by searching find how GOD searches us out; nor do we know how we are known. Such thoughts should restrain us from sin.

OLD TESTAMENT

Esther 4: 9 – 5: 8

Esther 4: 14
If thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time.
Mordecai believed that it was GOD’s purpose to use Esther to deliver Israel and that she had become queen for this very reason. However, Mordecai knew that Esther could fall short of that purpose if she did not do her part in GOD’s redemptive plan. If she refused to help the Jews, she too would be destroyed. GOD’s sovereign purposes usually include human responsibility.

1 Corinthians 1: 18 – 31

1 Corinthians 1: 18
It is the power of GOD.
The message of the Cross not only involves wisdom and truth, but the active power of GOD coming down to save, heal, drive out demons and redeem from sin’s power.
