God of Details

I have been encouraging my husband to read the Bible and other books about God. I want him to know God more.

You know my husband is not much of a reader. He's the type of guy who likes to watch...movies, videos, youtube....

I have been praying to God that He draws him closer to Him. Guess what? My husband agreed to attend Alpha (previous blog). Alpha includes dinner and you know what?! ...videos and discussion groups about Jesus and Christianity! Talking about answered prayer and a God of details!

I am reminded of David's psalm....

Psalm 139:1-6, 13-17 (New International Version)


1
O LORD, you have searched me
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 know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.


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,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.
