But here\u2019s what I do know&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8230;Nevertheless I am not ashamed:<br \/>\nfor I know whom I have believed,<br \/>\nand am persuaded that He is able<br \/>\nto keep that which I have committed<br \/>\nunto Him against that day.<br \/>\n2 Timothy 1:12<\/p>\n<p>And I remember and am encouraged as I read through the Scriptures and see the strong evidence of God\u2019s provision in the lives of His people; for example, His man Job. Job went through much but he knew his life was in the Almighty\u2019s sovereign and powerful hand. \u00a0And so, he could say of God&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">But He is unchangeable, and who can turn Him?<br \/>\nAnd what He wants to do, that He does.<br \/>\nFor He performs [that which He has] planned for me,<br \/>\nand of many such matters He is mindful.<br \/>\nJob 23:13 and 14<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I know that You can do all things and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.<br \/>\nJob 42:2<\/p>\n<p>See, myself&#8230;well, I get weary; and I am not strong at times. But my God&#8230;He is able! He is faithful! He keeps His promises! And so I trust His Word(s). Therefore when I remember He has said, \u201cI formed you and made you,\u201d \u201cI will never leave you nor forsake you,\u201d \u201cMy grace is sufficient for you&#8230;\u201d I am encouraged!<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite Scriptures is Psalm 139. It is such a beautiful prayer of praise of Almighty God! Throughout this psalm, David acknowledges God\u2019s providence, His sovereignty, His foreknowledge, His provision, His protection, His wisdom, and truly, His love.<\/p>\n<p>Here are excerpts from this psalm&#8230;may I suggest you read these verses aloud, allowing Your eyes and ears and mind to take them in. Consider them, my friend; dwell on them.<\/p>\n<p>And may your heart be reminded and strongly encouraged as you remember that God Almighty, your heavenly Father, truly KNOWS you. \u00a0He knows you\u2014every step, every move, every tear, all your ways. He knows all about you, inside and out, before and behind, sitting down and rising up. He knows your inward parts, your frame, your thoughts, your words, all your ways, all your days. He knows y.o.u., my friend&#8230;He knows your name!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>O Lord, You have searched me and known me.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>You know when I sit down and when I rise up;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>You understand my thought from afar.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>You scrutinize my path and my lying down,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Even before there is a word on my tongue,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Behold, O Lord, You know it all.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>You have enclosed me behind and before,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And laid Your hand upon me.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>It is too high, I cannot attain to it.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>For You formed my inward parts;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>You wove me in my mother\u2019s womb.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Wonderful are Your works,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And my soul knows it very well.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>My frame was not hidden from You,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>When I was made in secret,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And in Your book were all written<\/em><br \/>\n<em>The days that were ordained for me,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>When as yet there was not one of them.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>How vast is the sum of them!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>When I awake, I am still with You.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He counts the stars one and all He knows how much sand is on the shore He sees every sparrow that falls He made the mountain and the seas He&#8217;s in control of everything Of all creatures great and small He knows my name Every step that I take, every move that I make, every [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":16629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4937],"tags":[6341,6340,235,1287,425,6334,6342,6343,1586,4932,1684,5024,6335],"class_list":["post-19725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psalms-hymns-and-spiritual-songs","tag-2-timothy-112","tag-annie-and-kelly-mcrae","tag-coleen-hayden","tag-gch","tag-girlfriends-coffee-hour","tag-he-knows-my-name","tag-job-422","tag-jobs-2313-14","tag-psalm-139","tag-psalms-hymns-spiritual-songs","tag-romans-8","tag-romans-838-39","tag-the-mcraes","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p39pHp-589","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19725"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19738,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19725\/revisions\/19738"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
