Thankful - Day 8

I have to admit to you. I'm sitting here trying to decide what to write about and all I want to do is have a pity party. I feel like I could give you this long list of ways I'm feeling sorry for myself. But instead I'm working at taking the attention off of me and putting it back on Christ.
After sitting here for a few minutes I'm drawn to one of my favorite passages in scripture, Psalm 139. And right now I think it clearly says what I am thankful for  today.

Psalm 139:1-18
O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it. 
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, and the light around me will be night," even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. 
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully make; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.   

and then the chapter ends with verses 23 & 24
Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

I know that this is a somewhat long passage. But it is so encouraging to me. I love these verses. It is hard for me to choose just one or two verses out of this chapter. I am so thankful that God is always with me. There is nowhere I can go without Him! And He is always thinking of me!

Thank You, Lord for helping me put my focus in the right place tonight!
