Do you know the ways of God?

Be Still . . .
Devotionals for Daily Living ^©

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.
(Psalms 139:1-4 (NIV))

How often we forget this little piece of wisdom!

We get ourselves into a situation and then we wonder why God is not there to get us out! He is never far from us. He will never leave us. What has happened is that we have done things in this life without asking for God’s guidance and wisdom. We do things without knowing God’s thoughts and ways.

He knows our thoughts and ways before they happen, yet, we seldom know God’s thoughts and ways even after He has tried to teach us a lesson through our actions. We need to discern His thoughts and ways much better than we do. We need to take the time to “Be still” before God and “know that he is God.” Once we come to this point in our life, then we will realize that we need to know God as well as He knows us. We must be able to tell what God desires of us in any situation that we may find ourselves.

Do you know the ways of God?
