Searcher of my paths

You search out my path and my lying down

and are acquainted with all my ways.

Psalm 139:3

O God Who knows me,

How I need comfort in knowing that You know where I am, what I am, how I am, who I am, when I am, and why I am! My days can feel so shaky and uncertain sometimes. I wake up filled with hope and then lie in my bed at night discouraged. Or, I barely roll out of bed in the morning, unmotivated to start my day, and somehow You turn it all around. All I know is this: I do not know the path I will take. But You do. And I have to trust what You know and how You will lead me.

You know every step I will take today. You give me each breath I will take. You will sustain me. You will ordain every mile of this road. So I will trust in what You know, look for how You will lead, and wait for what You want to give me.

Like David I observe that Your wisdom and sovereign control are not just facts, but cause for worship. What You know about me and what You do for me is too wonderful for me to express or even comprehend. Your ways are higher and I will not attain them (Psalm 139:6). I can only look, trust, and worship. And so I entrust today to the Searcher of my paths.

Amen
