Beyond our Vain Imaginations
for Pinky and my Great Aunt Sara Jo
Psalm 139:1-15
1 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. 5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea 10 Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," 12 Even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth (NIV)

deep cries out to deep...
nothing is beyond you..
If I should shrink back from the light
where I can sink into the dark,
if I take cover, and I close my eyes,
even then you would see my heart.
Thank you for thinking of me.
ElBro, I remember waking up in the middle of the night when I was expecting my first daughter, struck with fears that every first-time mom has. I read these verses and slept peacefully.
I will continue to pray for your dear Aunt Sara Jo.
