Scripture Reading: Psalm 139:1-18
Focus Verse: Psalm 139:3 "You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am."
Any great accomplishment must have attention to detail. Every artist know that the masterpiece they complete is made up of thousands of details. God, as well, has given a lot of attention to the details of His creation. Let's not forget that God knows how many hairs are on our heads as stated in Luke 12:7.
In our scripture reading today David recognizes that God knows where we are at every moment. Sometime we may feel stressed with so many details in our lives. But you can rest easy knowing that God never gets anxious about details. He holds the whole galaxy of stars in his hand and controls every detail. Yet he is concerned with every detail of your life and is there to help you.
For every problem we have, God has a solution. Our biggest problem is sin but God has a solution for that, and His name is Jesus. You can trust Him with whatever you are facing today. Remember He loves you and wants to help you.

Obeying God and Doing His Purpose
Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 7:23-26
Focus Verse: Jeremiah 6:16 "This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
God's chosen people, Israel, had a challenge with being obedient. We also have a hard time with our obedience to God. We know the good path, but do not always take it.
I believe that every Christian has been given a purpose and a mission by God. God has given us talent and gifts to fulfill that purpose. Through our obedience in all areas of our lives we can fulfill that purpose and mission. If we are disobedient we run the risk of the mission being given to someone else to fulfill. If we repent, then God may choose to show mercy and give another chance, but we are not guaranteed a second chance at the mission. God's work will be done, either by us or by someone else. There have been people, churches, ministries, and nations that have missed out on a blessing because of disobedience. There are many Christians that will come to the end of life and say "I wonder what God could have done through me had I been obedient to Him? That is a tragedy.
When I am standing at the crossroads and given the choice to do right or wrong, God can give me the strength to do what is right and follow the ancient path every time! I pray that I remain faithful.
