Finally Figured it Out!

Earlier this week in my Sunday thoughts post, I mentioned the difficulty I was having preparing to preach on a name of God: ELOHIM. I didn't think I could explain the meaning of the name with one verse or one specific text. That's changed now, thank God! Psalms 139 is the focusing text:


For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made; [fn] Marvelous are Your works, And [that] my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, [And] skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When [as yet there were] none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! [If] I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.

What an appropriate text for Sunday; "Sanctity of Human Life Sunday".
I can't wait for Sunday.

  1. I am glad you have figured it out. I have no clue. Hope you post your outline so I can see what it is I've missed. Until then I will be sitting at your feet for understanding. Praying that the message on Sunday will find it's place. Be blessed.
