Preparing for the Omnipotent God
Psalms 139
Stacy Mathew

St. John’s MTC, NY

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well."

 


Three words that are often used to describe God all start with “Omni”, a Latin word  which means “all”:
“Omniscient  – God is all knowing
“Omnipresent” – God is present everywhere
“Omnipotent” – God is all powerful
 All these attributes of God are found in Psalm 139.

The title of Psalm 139 is God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man. There is absolutely no limit to the power of God. God has created us in His image yet we are distinct from each other. God did this for a specific reason. He created us and everything perfectly in His own hands. God’s works are marvellous. He designed and created us intricately, with passion and drive, therefore, we can’t disguise ourselves or hide from God. He knows our desires, thoughts, dreams and ambitions. He created each one of us with a purpose. His plans are in motion before we were born and will go on even after we join Him in our home above.

We may have read that humans share 50% DNA with… bananas. It’s amazing to see how something so small like DNA can differentiate species, or in this case with what we eat. In our classrooms we learn about the human body and the different processes and functions of cells and systems. Even though there was a lot of conceptual learning and memorization, the fact in how each cell works with each other, even in the creation of a new human is truly amazing. Only God, the master designer can truly create us humans in such marvellous way. So it is imperative that we have to use our body, the temple of God ( 1 Corinthians 3:16) and the talents He has given each one of us for His glory . So let us lead a life pleasing to God wherever He has placed us in this world, as the way of godliness is pleasing to God and helps us to attain eternal life.

PRAYER

Father, help us to realize that Your glory is above all else. Help us to understand that You created us with a purpose. Amen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
You are loving, You are wise. There’s nothing in my life You cannot revive… there’s nothing too hard for our God. – “Nothing is Wasted” by Elevation Worship

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind who are evil by nature, give good gifts t

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tell a child as to why they’ve been a
