I just love Psalm 139 it expresses everything I can't put into words.

[@KM-lu7nh]

Lord, what is your purpose for me?? When feeling like I'm not living my life the way God wants, I have to trust that He will fulfill His purpose for me. He is the one in control.

[@frandetwiler]

Our God is so unconditionally kind . Forgive me on the days that I am not more grateful for this and I Grumble and complain. Thank you Tara for every single wonderful teaching you give us each day. He is definitely fulfilling his purpose in you each day that you were able to teach us God's Word each day. May God keep you revealing his truths to us. God bless you and keep you

[@chinitamadrina2150]

The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me 💕

[@mariatripp]

Amen 🙏 Thank you Lord 🙏❤️

[@judyscheuch8580]

Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord. He is my God.

[@DonZimmerman52]

David knows that God knows that we are “a breath of air with days like a passing shadow” (Ps 144:4). He can only know this because he’s grieved the loss of loved ones. His response is to “lift his hands in prayer and thirst for God as parched land thirsts for rain” (Ps 143:6). And he must have God’s relief from grief and distress: “Come quickly,Lord; my depression deepens. Don’t turn away from me or I will die.” Isn’t that the way deep grief feels? If we don’t have God’s nearness, it feels that there’s no way to go on living. But for our God, “the night shines as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you” (Ps 139:12). That is because Jesus is light (Jn 1:5), and He infuses our loved ones with Himself when He welcomes them Home. And He brings that very light, Himself, into us, turning our dark grief into the Light.

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

Amen!

Today's reading had so many great things about our amazing God

[@roadtriplover.]

Im struggling and this comes at just the right moment. Fully known and fully loved. WOW!!! What a concept!!! In a world that tells me I’m not enough, then tells me I must be everything to all persons and in which navigating those extremes is just baffling … God reigns supreme and His messaging is clear. I can rest in Him, knowing His plan will reign and that I don’t have to carry all the burden of having all the answers. Man! Our God is AWESOME!!!!

Psalm 138:8 Nasb My God shall accomplish that which concerns me!

[@fratboytrey8675]

Bless you all

[@karenevans6035]

The ways of the Lord always ensure that everything works together to fulfill His purpose for my life. He is so kind! “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” Psalm 138:8 Psalm 139 shows over and again how close God is to me. His love and care for me is intentional. Oh the heart of our Lord who loves the undeserving so deeply.

[@DonZimmerman52]

How beautiful is God’s blessing and desire for us: “May our sons flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace. May our barns be filled with crops of every kind. May the flocks in our fields multiply by the thousands, even tens of thousands, and may our oxen be loaded down with produce. May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares. Yes, joyful are those who live like this! Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭144‬:‭12‬-‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

[@jeffandvikipendergrass]

Psalm 138:8, "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me"...; Psalm 145:13, ..."The Lord is faithful to all his promises "...; & Psalm 145: 19, "He fulfills the desires of those who fear him"...

[@bobbiebland6826]

Aloha and good morning BR family. Today's words show us just awesome our God is. His love endures forever. Just like David, which we have read has gone through many challenges; however, he never lost faith and hope in God. He is where the JOY is!!!🙏💯

[@marywalsh1374]

Powerful ending to today's teaching. Wow!

[@jeffandvikipendergrass]

Oh, how I love Psalm 139:1-18. God, our creator, knows us so intimately. He is with us, and there is no where we can go that he is not. "The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made." (Ps 145:9) "What are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?" (Ps 144:3)

[@Not2daysatan]

Knowing that God uses all things to refine me and draw me nearer is of comfort to me🙌🏼❤

[@kathyhull555]

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me….sure takes away my self inflicted pressure. ❤

[@CotishaMcNair]

God you are so good I praise you. I know that you will fulfill your purpose for us all. Hallelujah 🙌🏽

[@aaammgb-jw9xz]

I loved your explanation on Gods kindness, that even when we don’t get what we ask for that what God gives us kinder than what we want! What an amazing and loving God we serve, his mercies never cease!!! Thank you Lord for loving me!!!!!

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

Hey Bible Readers!

[@CSAdjay]

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me 🙏🏾

[@ivanronald]

Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love….Psalm 143:8 and….Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground….vs 10 ❤

[@karlacastillo780]

My favorite verse today was Psalm 143:8 Let the morning bring word of your unfailing love, for I have out my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. AMEN

[@valeriewhite2576]

Psalm 139 is my God shot he knew me before the foundation of the earth that's awesome 👍🏾❤️💯👏🏾 Good evening bible Family hope you had a blessed day in His Presence ❤️ He is where the Joy is ❤️💯🙌🏾

[@beloved7908]

Timely to share that beautiful Tim Keller quote.

[@monamorgan8614]

Hello everyone, May you have a great evening. May God bless and keep us in His loving care. ❤

[@antoinettehereford8180]

Today's psalms remind me that God is faithful at all times and that His steadfast love endures forever. He is powerful, all-knowing, and our creator. Because He knows and sees everything, I can go to Him about any and everything. Psalm 139: 13-14 and 23-24 are verses that I have committed to memory. God formed my inward parts. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. He searches me and knows me. Amen. Praise Yahweh, our Lord. And, thank you, Tara-Leigh, for reading Psalm 138: 8. Reading each time, putting emphasis on a different word each time, really shows just how rich this scripture is. God's promises for me are always good. Amen.

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

Amen Tara-Leigh Cobble!

[@letaparker5300]

Thank you TLC for your recaps! This one is one of my favorites so far ❤ so many wonderful nuggets. He is so very kind!

[@valeriewhite2576]

Good evening bible Family ❤❤❤ Beautiful recap 💯💯 Thank God for His Faithfulness ❤️

[@gloriajeananthony]

Good morning from South Africa God bless. ❤

[@deepintheheartoftx7548]

I have all of Psalm 139 memorized thanks to all three of my children having to memorize it in 2nd grade at their Christian school growing up. It is quite a dramatic psalm and the drama teacher at their school taught them how to recite with much emotion. Try reading it out loud as if you are David out in the fields with his sheep or all alone in a cave. My favorite part is "if only you would slay the wicked, O God. Away from me you blood-thirsty men, they speak of You with evil intent, Your adversaries misuse Your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise against You? I have NOTHING but hatred for them, I count them my enemies." I can just see those little 7 year olds in front of chapel saying that part with strong emphasis. Then he ends the chapter with the "search me, O God and know my heart......" He comes full circle and shows that we can also have strong hatred for what is evil, but we must ask God to search our hearts so that there might not be any "offensive way in me."

[@kerryjordan9928]

Ooohwee Tara! You had the anointing on this one! Praise God! I was moved by your recap today! Keep it coming ❤🎉

[@thefranciscofam4225]

My God shot was also Psalm 138:8! I had to write it down to remind myself. It gives me peace knowing he will fulfill his purpose for me, but not just me but also my kids. Especially when I have a tendency to worry about them. I will remember that he will fulfill his purpose for them. I don't have to worry because he has them in the palm of his hands. The safest place for them. It brings my heart peace and joy. He is where the joy is!!

[@joannapilgrim]

Thank you for that reading of Psalm 138:8...it blessed my soul ❤😇

[@Smiths5]

Psalm 139 was so emotional for me today. I have heard the most famous part, but never read the whole thing. I ended up highlighting the entire thing!

[@sherrylee1072]

I really like the way TLC put infus on each word of Ps. 138:8

[@mariaruth2763]

I subscribed, but since these are old podcasts, they don’t seem to send the notifications out every day. I have to search that days lesson. But it’s worth the effort. I’ve been enjoying this. I’ve been doing it since the fall. I started with the New Testament and now going through the Old Testament.

[@jeankaniewski3091]

One of my favorite Psalms 139. How it talks about Him knowing me as He created me and will know me intimately forever ❤️ Thank you Tara for your reading of 138:8 it was amazing 😊

[@catherinescourtis]

Just beautiful Psalms this morning! Ps. 131 - A Childlike Spirit - it touched me so deeply. It's hidden in there. Short and sweet. It's where God has brought me. It's only 3 verses on meekness, basically, and yet it's so powerful! Thank you, Abba Father. Thank you. And Ps. 138:8 The Lord WILL fulfill His purpose for me. Brings me back to the word spoken over me and into me several years ago now, "What is for me will not pass me." Praising Him this morning and always! He is so close!

[@debigarner8529]

My God shot is all of Psalm 139. I need to know that God made me, God knows me, God understands me, God is in charge of my life, God loves me, I am his! I belong, I have purpose! God is with me before, during, and after I am alive.

[@mariatripp]

Amen 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@sheliafondren1626]

7:32 ~ love the personal meditating read of psalm 138:8. Such a powerful way to read scripture. ❤

[@gradyhutchens]

My God is a good God, full of AWESOME DEEDS. Wow, it is so cool to read the Bible and look for God’s character instead of personal application or something.

[@BenDonahower]

About what you said with kindness. I also noticed that God has seen people in recent versus in this passage. A lot of young people today are wearing shirts that say be kind on them and talk about being 'seen. So there's a lot of opportunity to use these kinds of verses to minister to them.

[@PPWWSS]

Reading that part of scripture like that was POWERFUL.

[@michellemybelle9591]

Once again... 🔥Psalm 139. First time getting it. and TYSM for the 138:8 emphasis 🤯!

[@susanepperson2957]

My God shot is the righteousness and kindness of God found in Psalm 145 and, of course, Psalm 139…my favorite in God’s Word…such intimate Reassurance of God’s love and knowledge of me.

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

Yes, The Lord will fulfil His purpose for me. Love this passage, Tara -Leigh💖❤

[@nikkigamble1256]

My fav verse!

[@AudAkos]

I can trust God that He has a plan for my future and that I should not give up on faith ❤💖🙏🏽

[@mariatripp]

🙏🙌🏻🙏

[@shawttee]

Today was really precious. Yes and thank you TLC and team to Ps138:8. We're almost done with the psalms? Awwwwww!!! He's where the JOY is.

[@sherylkilpatrick1727]

Thanks for the reading of 138:8. His purpose for me....now that is a warm hug🙌🏻

[@MariselaHeredia-eu4qb]

Amen!❤

[@rickwarner516]

He will complete his work in me. So thankful that it’s not on me , because He’s faithful. One more day in Dubrovnik thank you team Tara ❤❤❤❤❤

[@renaej.7001]

Our God IS kind

[@randallcaughron2504]

I have a new goal: to truly love and fully know each person.

[@lenevans7741]

Amen. Amen. Amen.

[@GinaStreit-rv5ce]

I liked the quote from a Pastor that you shared. Then I also thought, & doesn't God also want that kind of love from us. It may start out more superficial, loving God, but not completely knowing. Then as we start reading more of His Word, listening to Him in prayer, etc, we start knowing His character more. To know Him & truly love Him, that's what He wants from us.

[@angelavanzino148]

LOVE how you read that last verse with different emphasis! He is so good to us! ❤

[@marylist-8893]

My God Shot was how David acknowledged how God made him as a weaned chlid in his mother's arms. Psalm 131:2

[@steveandgailpeachey6833]

So rich!

[@paulat346]

Catching up, what beautiful reminders in these psalms. I had heavily underlined ps 138:8. And tlc brought it to life. So blessed by the Bible Recap❤

[@denisehagy3870]

To really enjoy and understand the Psalms, try doing the Study Guide. I’m using it this time thru and the depth of what I am learning is so different that just breezing thru them my first go round.

[@beechannel27]

You were preaching today. I love what you said about a 1000 different Godshots between us on any given day. I love how you repeated Psalm 138:8. That is my jam.

[@JoshuaOAdesiyan]

"THE LORD WILL FULFILL HIS PURPOSE FOR ME" ~ AMEN. If you want to understand why God called David a man after HIS heart just read the book of Psalms. He's Where The Joy is

[@Kaspp-gd2ys]

I'm struggling in this study with the content of the questions. I don't understand why some of the questions are being presented. I do understand that God is in the details. I just don't understand why some of the questions are being presented because they don't seem to make sense with what we are reading.

[@rhondacave938]

Are you talking about the study guide? I'd like to understand your question better--can you give some examples of what you're confused about?

[@Kaspp-gd2ys]

@@rhondacave938 there's several questions I don't understand. I'm just getting frustrated because I'm not sure I'm answering them right. I was in a group but I didn't feel like I was getting out of the study what I thought I should be getting, so I decided to do it on my own. I came in on the group on day 98. They said it was fine. I got some good things, and notes but I'm still confused. There are several questions I had trouble with, like on Day 102 the question was, "Review 1 Samuel 15:11 and 15:29. How is it possible that these two verses don't contradict each other?" And then it goes on to say look up the word "regret" in Hebrew lexicon, which I was confused about what that was pertaining to.
