Psalm 18:20-24
GOD made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I got my act together,
he gave me a fresh start.
Now I’m alert to GOD’s ways;
I don’t take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works;
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes. (MSG)

Some people are genuinely terrified of thinking God might look a little too deeply at their lives. King David tells God here that he is an open book. He invited God to read any page, every page if he preferred. He had learned the life lesson of offering our broken places before God. God, and God alone, can put the pieces back together perfectly.

Look at how David describes this:

GOD made my life complete.

He gave me a fresh start.

I feel put back together.

GOD rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

This creates a good prayer to pray:

Our Father, I place before you the broken pieces of my life. I require a fresh start. I cannot get my life together on my own. Awaken my understanding of your will and ways. Forgive me for taking you for granted. I will, from now on, turn to you first, last, and always. Each evening, I will review how you worked in my life that day. You reintegrate my heart, mind, and strength. You are writing a better ending to the book of my life. Amen.

I will open the book of my life to God as an invitation for his examination and editing.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6
