Selah7

Psalm 139 is one of my favorite psalms, and I love the verses you posted. It doesn’t matter where we go, there is no way we can hide from our Father. It is so comforting to know that our Creator will never leave us nor forsake us.

Psalm 139:7-12 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

It’s a fact that this world is not our home and many of us long to be where we know we belong—in our real Home with the LORD. Our Father knows this; He knows everything about us, when we sit and when we rise; He knows our thoughts from afar and whispers in our ear, saying “This is the way; now walk in it.” But our Creator has put us here because we have a destiny. We have a job to do—for Him. 1 Peter 2:9 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Yeah, surely He knows how we struggle, and He helps us all the time. How comforting that is to me. Psalm 34:18 18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

Thanks, missmuffet. I love all these promises that fill us with hope—that give us the courage to live one day at a time, trusting in Him. “Those who love Him” That’s the key.

I see it like this: This parable parallels John 3:16. Everyone, bad or good, is invited, and everyone who sincerely comes to the wedding feast is accepted. We are told in Rev. 19:8 that our garments in heaven will be fine linen which consists of our righteous acts: “And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” So back to our parable. Apparently, everyone at the wedding feast had come to the Lord, and it was clearly evidenced by the white fine linen they were arrayed in. I can only surmise that when anyone accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, this, in God’s eyes, is one humongous righteous act! But see, there was one fellow there who was an imposter, for lack of a better word (like a Pharisee?). Yep, he was naked as a jaybird. He did not love the Lord and did not accept His gracious invitation (to be saved) in his heart. He was faking it, and he had not one single righteous act. Thus, the punishment.

Ephesians 4:1-3 4 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Early morning greetings . . . seeking Him early I think the good Lord (who art in heaven) must be very proud of you who daily pick up your cross and follow Him. Hang tough, sweet sibs. And one awesome day, you’ll hear Jesus say this personally to you: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Luke 9:23 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Luke 9:23 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

I’m trying to understand. Are you saying that you think you’ve committed a sin that’s too great that God cannot forgive you? Please let us know so we can help you, okay?
