Hope for the moment 3

^{Psalms 139:16} Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
         And in Your book they all were written,
         The days fashioned for me,
         When as yet there were none of them. 
¹⁷ How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
         How great is the sum of them!
 ¹⁸ If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
         When I awake, I am still with You. 


As I continue with my adding a verse or verses to Psalms 139:16 I thought it only right and extremely encouraging to add 17 and 18 to it today! How often do we really concentrate on "the thoughts of God"? To be sure the only way to even remotely fathom His thoughts would be to know him well.  This brings to my mind one of my favorite attributes of the Holy spirit! He knows the thoughts of God! (1 Cor 2:11)It is through his Holy Spirit that we can comprehend and understand His thoughts! The thoughts of God being precious to us conveys an intimacy with God and sweet communion had only by his people.  It is through this wonderful process that our boldness comes when going to his throne!! So as I go through this day, Our very first day of homeschooling, I want to be aware of the thoughts of God and live in each moment as he would have me live.  He has planned my days for me and he thinks about me all the time, and I want to be close to him and bring glory to him as I live my life as a woman of God, wife and mother! 


Incidentally there is a spider who has made a huge beautiful web outside our kitchen/school room window. In all its pretty colors the kids named her Sparkles.  she is a writing spider :) her web looks like it has a zipper in it.  I just think it is cool to have a writing spider to watch as we start homeschooling :)
