Closer to Him (as I wrote this in a plane, tee-hee...)

Today I am thankful for: time spent with Andrea and Megan, going home to my family, rain, cool weather, the greatness of my God, my home

Thank You, Lord, for Psalm 139!!  What a beautiful psalm that sums up the thoughts and wonders within me.  God made me.  He formed every part of me!  He knew me and shaped me before I existed!  There is no where I can hide that God either won't find me or won't know my thoughts.  How comforting!  Even when I'm foolish enough to allow sin to separate me from God, He is there!  I may not see Him, but He is with me.  He knows my heart!!  Why should I not confess my transgressions?  Praise You, God, for knowing every part of me, every thought, every unspoken word!  Help me to always strive to be transparent before the Lord.  He knows me intimately, therefore I have nothing to hide.  So do not let me try!  Keep dishonesty far from me and keep me humble in my praise and genuine in my words.  It is a blessing to serve the Lord!  I pray that my faith grows continually as I strive to walk the path He has set before me.  Lord, keep me from stumbling!  Draw me closer, Lord.  Help me to stay in Your presence, always.
