Part 5

Psalm 94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

Parts 1 and 2; I quoted Psalm 139.

Part 3; I laid out a thought process and left the results up to you.

Part 4; I revealed my thoughts to you and how it all tied back to my specific comforts in Psalm 139.

I do not expect anyone to take comfort from part 4. Those were my thoughts, my issues and my comforts came to me from God through His Word. His Word was for me.

What I do believe is that God is able to comfort you within the multitude of your own thoughts. I was willing to share with you how God works with me. That does not mean you are like me. Heaven forbid you should be burdened with the multitudes of my thoughts. You have your own.

Perhaps you didn’t see the comfort I received. That is fine. It was for me. I do believe that if you give yourself over to His ways, His plan, His perfect knowledge of your every thought, you too can be comforted by our God who loves you perfectly.

Surrendering to His Lordship is much more than just trying to find something to keep yourself busy. Yes being a doer of the Word is important, but what specifically to do can only be found in the comforts that are found in a close personal relationship.

While we look to Mary, Martha’s sister, who did the only needful thing, hanging on every Word of Jesus, let us not forget that Jesus had to get up and leave. What He told Mary to do as He departed is between them alone. Nothing in scriptures reveal what instructions were given.

And so it is with all of us!
