David wrote in Psalms 56:8 ” You have kept record of my days of wandering. You have stored my tears in Your bottle and counted each one of them.” David had an intimate relationship with the Lord and that is really where all the Psalms came from, his intimacy with God guided by the Holy Spirit. David knew that our creator knew everything about each one of us. Psalms 139:15 reads: “Nothing about me is hidden from You. I was secretly woven together deep in the earth below, but with Your own eyes You saw my body be formed, even before I was born You had written in Your book everything that I would do.”
Psalms 87:6 reads: “The Lord will make a list of His people, and all who were born here will be included.”
Malachi 3:16 reads: “All those who truly respected the Lord and honored His name started discussing these things, and when God saw what was happening, He had their names written as a reminder in His book. “In Jeremiah 22:30 it reads: “Erase the names of Jehoiachin’s children from the royal records. He is a complete failure, and so none of them will ever be king. I, the Lord, have spoken.” This is eye opening. It is clear that what many do not think the Lord is watching or aware about what is going on, He sees all things, knows all things. We all have heard the song written about ” Michael row the boat ashore…….” Daniel 12:1 reads: Michael, the chief of angels, is the protector of your people, and he will come at a time of terrible suffering, the worst in all of history. And your people who have their names written in the Book will be protected. “The main point that I draw from these scriptures is what David knew, if we respect and obey the Lord we will be protected unto our eternal day. He always sees what we are doing, even from the foundations of the earth- He sees all. This was what David was referring to when he said in the Psalms 56:8 ” You have kept record of my days of wandering. These scriptures do show that the Lord keeps records of right and wrong. This message is not to condemn, ” There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1.
God gives us free will and He can see all that we do, but He loves us enough to give us a second chance to be redeemed by Jesus Christ and teaches us to respect and follow after His ways, and the Bible is full of warnings, directives, truth, and comfort as we make our way through life in the Spirit. Frankly, I do not know how people make it through the ups and downs of life without the Lord.
Today is a chance to start over again and lean on His word and promises to keep you protected and in His Spirit. Ask Jesus to be your Lord and lead and guide you to the correct path. Jesus died and rose again so that we can have that second chance if only we believe in Him. The Holy Spirit will always comfort you, direct you and reveal the truth of His word to you daily.
Your name will be written in the Book of Life.
