God is With Us

Well, it sure does feel that we went out of one storm into another. What a week! If you guys follow me on FB, you guys know our Natty girl is sick. She's been running a fever of 102 and has a sore throat. Poor girl. She is so uncomfortable. Tim and I pretty much got virtually no sleep last night between Natty sleeping with me for a while, and Tim rocking her very early this morning. Please pray she gets feeling better soon. I had wanted to call in for a sub, but I did have 3 I.E.P.'s scheduled today. I got to work and 2 of them have cancelled. Grr. I have the one at 1 P.M. left, so I really couldn't even take a half day. Oh well, it is almost Friday. I am hoping to get plenty of rest tonight because I have to be at Riverside Medical Clinic at 7 to see the blood suckers again. =P

Hang in there everybody! It's almost Friday!

The All-knowing and Ever-present God
You... are acquainted with all my ways.
— Psalm 139:3

What is God like? Where is He? Does He know everything?
Two key attributes of God are found in Psalm 139. We read these words from King David:
O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways . . .Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. (Psalm 139:1–3, 7–10)
From this psalm and other passages in Scripture, we learn that God is omnipresent (He is everywhere) and that God is omniscient (He is all-knowing).

Now that can be comforting or frightening, depending on your relationship with God. If your relationship with Him is close, it's very comforting to know that no matter what you face in life, God will be there for you.

Whatever happens in your life, you can remember that it comes through the screen of His love with your best interests in mind. Remember that as you go through the difficulties of life.
You can have confidence in the knowledge that you are never alone. The all-knowing and ever-present God is with you.
