Wednesday's Whisper

Psalm 139:17-18

¹⁷ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

¹⁸ If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Good morning, and a Wonderful Wednesday morning to you all!

I am often overwhelmed when I pause to think of how much the Lord loves me. One of my favorite chapters in the book of Psalms is chapter 139, because it speaks to me of the unconditional love of God. He knows my down sittings and my uprisings; He's acquainted with all my ways; He knows my thoughts - yet He loves me and thinks I am worth saving. It leaves me feeling so loved, yet sensing a deep unworthiness.

The late Dottie Rambo wrote a classic of a song many years ago, and the message within its lyrics is worth sharing today:

He Looked Beyond My Faults

by Dottie Rambo

Verse One

Amazing grace will always be my song of praise

For it was grace that bought my liberty

I do not know just why He came to love me so

He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs

Chorus

I shall forever lift my eyes to Calvary

To view the cross where Jesus died for me

How marvelous the grace that caught my falling soul

He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs

Verse Two

And for today, I humbly seek Thy favor, Lord,

And ask that Thou should smile on things I do

Then some those shifting sands of doubt all around me 

But they shall not take my eyes from You

I trust you all will have a Wonderful Wednesday. Pause to reflect on the amazing grace of God, and His unconditional love toward mankind. May it WOW us once again!

Lord willing, I'll be back tomorrow for yet another spoonful!
