Written Into A Story

Written Into A Story

A morning prayer

 

Psalm 139:15 My frame was not hidden from you,

when I was being made in secret,

intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of them,

the days that were formed for me,

when as yet there was none of them.

 

 

I love this picture, You have written, are writing, The Story. The mystery of how it has been written and is now being written are above my pay grade.

 

Psalm 56:8 You have kept count of my wanderings;

put my tears in your bottle.

Are they not in your book?

This I know, that God is for me.

 

In A Severe Mercy , Sheldon Van Auken talks about C.S. Lewis describing our story being in God’s hands like Dickens book Great Expectations, finished in God’s hands, complete, yet for us still unfinished, on page 232 or 35, or where ever I find myself. We cannot see the book or ourselves yet complete, but we are complete and being completed as the story unfolds held in the authors’s hand.

 

The wonder and the mystery...only You are God and You are for me. 

Thank You, Amen!
