"Unquestionable"

"O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid." (Psalms 86:16)
I cannot imagine what my life would be without the Lord; I am pretty sure by now that I would have ended it on my own. Our relationship with the Lord is beyond the happenings of this life, no matter how overwhelming things might appear. That's sometimes hard to remember while we are actually in the moment, but if we can get the right perspective, we can see things from a whole different point of view. Take a look at David's perspective, and try and see how it's something that goes beyond the present; beyond any present situation or circumstance, no matter what time of your life you are living in. First of all, God is the one who chose David to be king; and as he himself says in Psalms 139:13, "For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb." As you dive into that whole portion of Scripture, which I hope to do some day, you see how detailed David gets into God's hand upon his life; every little detail, from conception to the end of this life, there is nothing that God is not watching over and setting in motion. When we actually can rest in the thought that God is in control, then we can better realize how small our little situation or circumstance really is. But our biggest problem is that we tend to live in the present, the present being what is happening now; even at the expense of blocking out the past and forgetting to look to the future, we only focus on whatever it is that we are going through right now. I can't help but think about the disciples freaking out in the boat while Jesus slept; He told them that they were going to the other side, yet as soon as a storm comes upon them, they feared for their lives. Not only that, but they assumed that He did not care if they perished or not; He just remained sleeping and enjoying the rest. There is a little hint of what "entering God's rest" looks like; when God's in control, we don't need to question what the outcome is going to be, because He has already told us what it will be, no matter what...
"I can never escape your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night -but even darkness cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous -how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!" (Psalms 139:7-18) NLT
