Spending time with God is never wasted. Guess what, today I discover the "Edward Cullen" side of God! ;)
You do not need to be very close to me to know that I'm a Twilight saga fanatic. I love everything about Edward Cullen - the hero, the gentleman, the know-it-all, the lover-forever... How I wish I could be the Bella in the story!
As I read Psalm 139 today, I realised that in fact, I already am Bella in the kingdom of God! What's more, God is more powerful than Edward! :) :) :)
In the novel, Edward cannot read the mind of Bella, and that frustrates him. If Edward really has to know what Bella is thinking, he has to read the thoughts of people around her. That's entirely different with God.
Psalm 139: 1-4
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! :)
Edward is always protective over Bella. Just as how Bella couldn't comprehend how would someone so perfect fall in love with her, such an imperfect fragile human, David expressed his awe towards the immortal God.
Psalm 139: 5-6
You hem me in - behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
No where is beyond the reach of our heavenly Father. Where we are, there His spirit will be, leading and guiding us.
Psalm 139: 7-8
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If you think sleeping with someone watching over you is sweet (yeaps, that's what I think!), David makes me think God is sweet!
Psalm 139:17-18
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
How finally this is my m&m verse for the week.
Psalm 139-23-24
Search me , I God, and know my heart; test me, and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead to me in the way everlasting.
Thank You, Saviour!
