And That My Soul Knows Very Well

Psalm 139:1-18,     O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
    2, You know my sitting down and my rising up;     You understand my thought afar off.
    3, You comprehend my path and my lying down,     And are acquainted with all my ways.
    4, For there is not a word on my tongue,     But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
    5, You have hedged me behind and before,     And laid Your hand upon me.
    6, Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;     It is high, I cannot attain it.
    7, Where can I go from Your Spirit?     Or where can I flee from Your presence?
    8, If I ascend into heaven, You are there;     If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
    9, If I take the wings of the morning,     And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
    10, Even there Your hand shall lead me,     And Your right hand shall hold me.
    11, If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”     Even the night shall be light about me;
    12, Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,     But the night shines as the day;     The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
    13, For You formed my inward parts;     You covered me in my mother’s womb.
    14, I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;     Marvelous are Your works,     And that my soul knows very well.
    15, My frame was not hidden from You,     When I was made in secret,     And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
    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.

And that my soul knows very well.   What does Your Soul KNOW-Very Well?? David knew that he was fearfully and wonderfully made. His Soul  KNEW IT. He didn’t just BELIEVE it in his head,  rather HE KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt IN HIS SOUL .... that God had fearfully and wonderfully made him.                                                           He Knew He wasn’t just His Own Man.  He Knew GOD Had Made Him.           Say With Me, . . . . . . .  GOD MADE ME.                                                                  What a “Great Revelation” to know that God Made........... You; and I.                                             We are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Job said this in......................                                                                 JOB 42:2, “I know that You can do everything,     And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.                                                                                                                                                 I have a BOOK in my Library called...... “You don’t know what you don’t know, till you KNOW IT”  It is a collection of sayings of the Business Wisdom of one of Australia’s most successful entrepreneurs, called Richard Pratt AC, who built Visy Industries [The Packaging Company] to what it is today, and made many of his shareholders into millionaires. The Book is really a statement,  that is saying ....Ignorance is NOT BLISS; and that we live, walk, and do life, do family, and do business, ONLY at the level of what we KNOW. We live at the level of OUR REVELATION, or Understanding, or Education … OR Ignorance. 

WHAT DOES YOUR SOUL KNOW VERY WELL ?

IN JOHN 8:31-32, Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed . 32, And you shall KNOW the TRUTH,   and  the truth shall make you free.”                                                    MATTHEW 4:4, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”                                                                                                                      PROVERBS 19:8, He who gets Wisdom is kind to his own soul;     He who keeps understanding will find good.   Being kind to your soul doesn’t mean pampering it. There are in your soul and mine,   attitudes and perceptions that affect us emotionally, or bind us into poor thinking,....... and they need to be challenged.

A Poor Soul means a Poor Life. A faith-filled Soul means a faith-filled life. The progression goes like this: the Wisdom of God builds your soul, and your soul establishes the level of your life.       Romans 12:2, Confirms this. Being Transformed by the Renewing of your Mind.                                                                                                                                                  If you want to Revolutionise your Soul, then you need to do what                                 JAMES 1:21 says, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 

When a horticulturist engrafts two trees together they become one.   So too the Word of God is implanted into our lives. The King James Version refers to this as the engrafted Word which is able to revolutionise our soul. It’s what your Soul Knows. 

As a Christian you become one with the promises of God, THEY become a part of you, and this process Transforms your Soul.                                                                       Jesus is the Word [made flesh], and when HE is engrafted into your life, HE becomes the centre or core of your Emotions, Thinking, and Will. With Jesus as your Foundation you can start out on a journey to the abundant life you were designed for.  

AND, PSALM 23,  BECOMES A REALITY IN YOUR LIFE.                                                                                                                                                                                                     3 JOHN 2, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 
3, For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 

 I encourage you to  Guard the Inner YOU, because ......                                                                                                                                                                 The INNER YOU.......WILL DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE.                                                                                      The Inner You, plays a critical role in your collision with destiny and your progress, or lack of it.                                                                                                                               What SIZE are you on the INSIDE???  S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL, ???  Small Souled People shrink their world, and everyone else’s world around them...... “MOVIE:-  Honey I shrunk the Kids.  MOVIE:-  John Cash’s Father. 

In 1 Samuel 17, the Shepherd boy David, was a lot bigger on the INSIDE than KING SAUL who stood head and shoulders above the rest of the people.   (SAUL WAS THE COWARD OF THE COUNTY)

SO…..What Does YOUR Soul Know VERY WELL ?????   God is with me????
