This past weekend, I went on Fall Getaway which is essentially just that. I got to know many different people while at the bonfires or canoeing or on a hay ride. It was through Campus Crusade, and I really did learn some important things. Oddly enough, the things that were being taught directly were not the things that I brought home with me.
While sitting in the middle of the campsite, surrounded by beauty - trees, a lake, and the sunshine beating down on me, a certain verse came to mind. Psalm 139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any way offensive in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
In the middle of so much confusion in life right now, I realized that this should be my prayer. I want the way everlasting. I need God to know my anxious thoughts, because for sure no one else does. The entire rest of the Psalm just confirms the fact that God knows me and is, and always will be, there; I cannot get away. It’s pretty much amazing.
