Problems are your greatest opposition & greatest opportunity to overcome
What is your Struggle?
--
1 O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
--
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
--
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
--
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
--
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
--
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

God Knows Me Like Google

--
7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
--
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave,[a] you are there.
--
9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
--
10 even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
--
11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
--
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.

--
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
--
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
--
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
--
16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
--
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
--
17 How precious are your thoughts about me,[b] O God.
They cannot be numbered!
--
18 I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!

God Formed Me For a Purpose

--
19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
--
20 They blaspheme you;
your enemies misuse your name.
--
21 O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
--
22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
--
This is My Struggle?
What is Yours ?
--
Who is the real enemy?
--
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
--
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
--
Why does this matter and What to do
Search Me = Know My Heart
--
Test Me = Know my Thoughts
--
Lead Me = I will follow
--
What could be stake if you leave this room unchecked
--
What am I asking you to do:
the problems are both your greatest opposition & your greatest opportunity to overcome
--
Make room for God in your life daily
