Intro:Monday we will continue our devos on the 10 Commands with the next command: Do not commit *adultery.
Let's spend time this weekend worshiping God and preparing our hearts to worship him on Sunday.
Can you stop right here and pray with me?
"Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for giving me another day to live. Let me life this day in your power. Live your life through me. Have your way Lord.
Search me O Lord. Try me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is a harmful way in me and lead me in the everlasting way. I confess my sin to you. There are many places I fall short. Please forgive me (take time to examine your life).
God there are many things I need today (take time to share things with God).
I put my life in your hands. Show me what it looks like when you show up today. I will look to see you and join you there.
In Jesus name, amen!"
Read: Psalm 139
1 O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave, you are there.
9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
18 I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you ers!
20 They blaspheme you;
your enemies misuse your name.
21 O Lord, shouldn’t I those who you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
22 Yes, I them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Think:
Did any portion of this Psalm speak to you as you read it? Stop and meditate on it. Think through it and what God wants you to do with it.
