His Hand In My Goings

Psalm 139:1-6

O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me. Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, and art intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all. Thou hast enclosed me behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it. --

My sister and I left her house to make what we thought would be a 3 or 4 hour drive, to be with my daughter for a family event at the University prior to her graduation. We missed a turn-off onto the highway we were going to take, which resulted in a much longer but very scenic 6-hour drive. We arrived at the University at about the same time my daughter and her family did, though, and, surprisingly, met up with them on the sidewalk, from among over 18,000 graduates and their families! 

God knew that we didn't need to be there earlier, and treated us to a very beautiful mountain drive as an extra bonus. He really does know all my ways, and is so powerful that He was able to arrange all the details, for my benefit, and He receives all the glory!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
