Better than I know myself !

“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.”

Psalm 139 :16 (New King James Version)

When I was a kid I wanted to be a window washer !! Yup ! Because I had seen on TV how cool it was to be hanging from these tall skyscrapers and just having fun. Well ambitions keep changing… when I graduated from high school I wanted to be an aeronautics engineer. A lot of fasting and prayer went into it and God clearly directed us that that was not His well. I joined my Electronics and Communications engineering and told myself and everyone around me that I would never work as a software engineer. For a year and a half during my college I specialized in Biomedical Instrumentation and found myself totally hooked to that field.

Proverbs 19:21 , “There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel – that will stand.” . The very first job I landed during college ? A job as a software engineer !! I did try applying for another job in a different country itself which I did get by His grace. But as I sought His will He directed me that the job that I had got as part of my college placements was where the Lord wanted me to be in.

Proverbs 16 : 9 ,”A man’s heart plans his way. But the LORD directs his steps”. The way the Lord has led me and guided me all these years is so amazing. Its indescribable ! Never could I have ever imagined how the Lord would lead me and where He would bring me and use me by His grace for His glory.

Psalm 139 : 4-6, “For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.”

Just try and picture this awesome truth … He has hedged you behind and before !! HE has enclosed you ! His hand is upon you !!

Our God saw our substance even before it was formed . He has written down the very days that are there for us even before they were in existence.

Wow ! Praise the Lord that not all our desires are fulfilled ! Praise the Lord that not all our prayers are answered ! Praise the Lord He knows us better than we know ourselves. Which is why our desires need to be in accordance with His will. Which is why when we pray we lift it up in accordance to His will. Our plans…. Not what we want or we desire…. But what He wants and what He desires.

Song pick for the day : Better than I know myself by Cliff Richard

You were there - at the moment I began
When the child became a man
Saw my future in the making - saw the path my life was taking
You saw a million things I'll never understand

You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you

You are here so let it rain or let it shine
You are with me all the time
When I'm waking - When I'm sleeping
In the secret thoughts I'm keeping
You know everything about this heart of mine

You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you

You'll be there - when the end of time has come
And I know you'll take me home
So I thank you for tomorrow
All my joys and all my sorrows
And I thank you for the greatest thing I've known

You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you

God Bless
