When God is all you have, then you will finally know that God is all you need.  Rick Warren

Psalm 139  1-18   1   O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;  You understand my thought from afar.  3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways.  4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, You know it all.  5 You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.  6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it.  7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?  Or where can I flee from Your presence?  8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.  9 If I take the wings of the dawn,  If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,  10 even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me.  11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,  and the light around me will be night,”  12            even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.  13 For You formed my inward parts;  You wove me in my mother’s womb.  14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;  wonderful are Your works,  and my soul knows it very well.  15 My frame was not hidden from You,  When I was made in secret,  and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;  16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;  and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!  How vast is the sum of them!  18   If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.  When I awake, I am still with You.

Security

2 Cor. 4:  7-10, 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the

surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;  8 we are

afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;  9 persecuted, but

not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;  10 always carrying about in the body the

dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

Confidence

Gal. 2:20  “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Faith

Jeremiah 32: 27  “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?”

Wisdom

Pro 20:18 Prepare plans by consultation, and make war by wise guidance.
