I will be in God’s company each day, and I will take care of my body which was created by Him

From: April 14-20, 2009 Study #587-Church in the Houses

TOPIC: “I will be in God’s company each day, and I will take care of my body which was created by Him” Psalms 139: 13 - 18 David had developed a total dependence of the God who created him and had always taken care of him. He was very aware of the power of the Lord. When a person wants to sin they began to reduce their relationship with God. As the years go by they begin to depend each time less on God. There is a relationship that should never be cut off by no means, because there is a very great power. Although David’s body was wearing away physically, he could admit and absolutely say that God was the only God who loved him, protected him and that there was absolutely no one else beside Him. God has formed us in our mother’s womb; this is why He deserves from us all the glory and the honor. The psalmist was hidden in his mother's womb covered by God who protected him. Sometimes, we are filled with so much fear, when God has always taken care of us since we were in our mother’s womb and has taken us day after day by the hand. However, there is a constant complaint towards God. Before we knew Him or any other person, He was already taking care of us. He has taken care of us as if we were a great treasure, even when He knows how willful we are. We are as a great treasure for the Lord. He will not leave us now, after He has taken care of us for so long. God never leaves us, not even under the worst circumstances. In the most secret place, in the entrails, where the Psalmist had not even been born yet, Jehovah had everything under control and under His care. David understands that God had been watching out for him and everything else and that He had knitted him in his mother's womb. The psalmist adored and blessed Jehovah because he knew how wonderful His deeds were. Some live in bitterness as if they didn’t want the life that they must live through. The Psalmist was able to recognize that he was a created prodigy. We are prodigies of Jehovah, not trash. He adorned our body, he made us beautiful so that we can give Him praise, bless Him and give Him glory. Why don't we recognize what God has done in us instead of living to reproach God? God created us for the eternity. The present life is only the introductory part of our long existence which will be in Heaven. If only we understood and loved what God wants! Our mind is exposed to the temptations that surround us. For this reason, we must take good care of our lives and bodies for the God who has created us! Laziness is what leads us to perdition. Some destroy what God has cared for and blessed so much, their own lives. To underestimate what seems so insignificant leads to perdition. An evil thought can lead us to an evil purpose, then to a malevolent action that would lead us to a wrong course of behavior. Such behavior can drag us to a madcap that has driven millions to perdition. Let us open our eyes; we are God’s chosen children. Our gifts and what God has put in our hands is because of the death of Jesus Christ. I Kings 12:30 It is very dangerous if God turns his face away from us. For this reason, we must cry out before God. How necessary it is to take care of the body! The wonders of Jehovah are for the well-being of our lives. God made us similar to Him; He gave us soul, body and spirit. God created us to resemble Him, as He

wanted to create us. Our soul should know it very well. The psalmist's soul was not undecided. We were formed marvelously; even before we were born we were in God’s books. Sometimes, we look at ourselves in the mirror and we begin to quarrel with what God has created. Let us be clearly aware of how beautiful the work of God is in our lives. Once we left the place where we were hidden, our mother's womb, God began to take us through the route of life and brought us to arrive before Him and serve Him. The new birth is miraculous, more than when we left our mother's womb. Jesus dies; He goes to Heaven and is seated to the right hand of the Father interceding for our lives. So much love! But, sometimes we have such a limited mind that we cannot understand so much well-being for our lives. God’s work is perfect, He forms us in the womb of a woman, in the darkness, so that we will live grateful. God always gives us gifts. We were created where no eyes can see; He is the one who watches over us, He doesn’t stay still until every part of our body is complete. The eyes of Jehovah were observing the psalmist in everything, Jehovah took care of him. In the same way Jehovah will guide our path and that is and will always be the joy of the righteous. In many occasions we don't like what we are. They are small defects that the whole world worries about, when the real danger is when our inner self is being deformed. The days of our lives are written in Jehovah’s books. The great Maker has created us; He wrote in the book all the purposes He has for us. David understood what God had for his life. We must value our body. The Good Lord knows who we are, that we belong to Christ and His eyes recognize the members that are chosen. Sometimes people live in a cloud projecting what they want to have in 10 years and they end frustrated when they become old. Poor of those who deny the existence of God! God gives us a rich and abundant life. Our love toward God is tested when we don’t think of Him frequently, when other things fill our mind, when we are not satisfied with the benefits of God, because what satisfy us are the pleasures that cannot fill us. If we put God in the first place of our lives we will love Him more. Verse 18 We should consider the thoughts of love that God has for our lives, which are endless. God delivers us from so many things and does so much for us! He delivers us from our enemies. If God is our last thought when we go to bed, when we wake up we will have revelation, we will know everything because there won't be anything hidden from us. Our spirit wants to leave with Him, because we go to bed thinking of Him. Because He wants to be with us and we always want to be with Him. The real life is to know that God is with us. Let us keep our hearts aware that at night and in the morning we will meet with the one who loves our souls. It is good to season the heart with thoughts about Him. Let us be capable of consecrating in the morning and go before the presence of God before making contact with all that vulgarity that exists in this world. We have to take care of our bodies, for this reason we have to get prepared in the morning with God. Then, we will be seasoned with a lot of fear and love towards God. The thoughts toward God should be our first visitor. God and the psalmist's heart met as soon as he woke up and the company between both lasted the whole day. During the whole day David’s heart was with God. For that reason his heart was according to God’s heart. That’s what we are seeking for. Amen.
