Devotional: Behold My Father

"And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account." Hebrews 4:12

I often make my life about me, but it's not. Days are filled with all I perceive I need to do- to have; and the Great Father, my Creator, God, and Master is oftentimes forgotten, set aside, ignored. I forget that this All-Powerful being is real and I am ever before Him. Though He could have ignored, forgotten me, and set me aside, He never did and His perfect love and Character NEVER DOES.

Today I praise my Maker and My Savior who never loves me the way I love Him back. HE is and does always much more.

Today, I Behold this great God, my Father, who David knew pretty well...

"O Lord, You have searched me thoroughly and have known me.

You know my entire life and everything I do. 

You understand my thoughts from afar and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before my word is spoken, Lord, You know it all. This infinite knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is above me, I cannot reach it.

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?

Wherever I may be, Whatever I do,You are there; When I awake, I am still with You. 

Even darkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You,

You formed my innermost parts; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;

And in Your book were all already written

The days that were appointed for me."  Psalm 139
