Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?

22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

A heartfelt thanks to Grace Fox! I owned a hundred and three (to be exact) motivational books with an approach of Christianity from various authors and her piece is my all―time favorite (only when we speak of the Christianity approach and not mentioning my other favorites). I owned the paperback book, the one with pink colored cover which cost around Php 500.00 during the year 2013 (prices where much cheaper before than the up―to―date releases).

I never get tired of reading and re―reading this book for four years already. Not a day passed me by without re―reading, re―reading, re―reading, and re―reading this. At downtime, it helps me stay on track in my spiritual life.

For ladies who want to keep growing in a deeper relationship with God although amused by productivity, then I oh―so recommend this book. 4 stars.

This was a great book of devotions. Each devotion is 2-3 pages, easy to read, and with lots to think about. I liked it so much, I am now reading 10-Minute Time Outs for Moms.

A nice book that is almost like a daily devotional, words of wisdom, practical advice, scripture and a prayer. A nice book for the busy Christian woman.
