“My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.”
Psalms 31:15
Know and adore the true and just One, whose name is Holy: which keepeth thee in the very palm of His hand. He which directs, controls, and shortens or lengthens our lives. Job saidin(Job 23:10 “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”)
Know and realize that God knows you better than you even know yourself. He is omniscient. He already knows the imperfections, pride, rebellion, stubbornness, lust, envy, weaknesses, and all sinful ways of our hearts and lives. He also knows the kindness, virtue, faith, patience, charity, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering, goodness, joy, peace, temperance, love, generosity, and all Christ like character of our hearts and lives. It is the ones we manifest forth the most, telling who we are and our character. David said in (Psalms 139:1-4 “O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.”)
Let us strive always to keep our Master and Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy One, foremost in our hearts, minds, and lives. Knowing assuredly His omniscience is past finding out and immeasurable. (“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” Prov. 15:3) Therefore dearly beloved, let us go on to perfection in obedience to Christ for our times are in His hand.
