Psalms 140:12-13 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Ever get that feeling?

Psalms 140:12-13
“12 I know that you, God, are on the side of victims, that you care for the rights of the poor.
“13 And I know that the righteous personally thank you, that good people are secure in your presence.”
2 Thessalonians 3:16
“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”

Ever get that feeling that you’re being watched? I’m usually to wrapped up in my own head to notice, but others aren’t. Once my mom felt she was being watched as she was trending to some wild asparagus. She looked over her shoulder and saw a coyote watching her from not to far off. I’d have missed it.

I wonder if I miss God’s presence like that because I’m to full of my own thoughts to notice; blissfully skipping along, humming a song of joy, blah, blah, and to stuck in my own head to notice or care about God’s hand in things. I think I’m secure, but I’m not because I’m not in God’s presence.

The Lord is on the side of the victims, on the side of the poor. Economically I don’t qualify, spiritually I do. Maybe that’s why He sticks with us, the spiritual poverty, the belief in Him.

Thank you lord for caring for the have-nots me. Thank you for being there even when I’m not. Bring me closer when I’m far away. May I have your peace at all times and in every way.

Lord, I know you’re there, watching me, protecting me, perfecting me, caring for me, loving me. Get me out of my head long enough to see that, to live that, to stay that way.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
