“Birthday Imparts Redeemer's
Triumphant Hand Daily Answering You!(B.I.R.T.H.D.A.Y)”
Ramesh C. Reddy
Question to
Ponder/Approach Question:
Interpretations:
2.
YOU KNIT THEM TOGETHER in my mother's womb.
I asked myself what does the Psalmist reflect on
in v.16-18 regarding God's role in his life?
I asked myself the significance of the Psalmist's
reflection regarding God's role?
Implications:
It was so awesome last Sunday of
Lord's Day on September 29th that Pastor Hugo Cheng was able to give a
brief message on Psalm 139 while we celebrated Esther's blessed 1st year
birthday with our loved ones at church.
I can celebrate my birthday because
the Lord Jesus loves me so much and gave it to me. It is because of the
birthday's the Lord Jesus has blessed me with, helping me being born
after being developed in my loving mommy's womb, I grew up with His help
as He thinks about me constantly. Three years ago, I
had the blessing of being married to my most wonderful, darling wife
Chandraleela who is so prayerful, loving, understanding, and supportive
of my life these past 3 years of marriage. Not only that but the Lord
has blessed us with our precious daughter Esther who was born on the
Lord's Day of Sunday last year on September 30, 2012.
When we found out that my leela was pregnant with Esther, we prayed
Psalm 139:13-18 every single day of Esther's development in her mother's
womb and I continued to pray Psalm 139:13-18 every single day of her 12
months of development knowing the power of God's Word and how much Psalm
139:13-18 applied to Esther and each of us. I have prayed Psalm 139 for
my own life and Chandra's life reflecting on it. Thank you Jesus for
thinking about us constantly. I continue to pray it for my wife,
daughter, and myself.
I ask you now dear friend, who cares for your
B.I.R.T.H.D.A.Y in life?
My wife Leela and I have experienced the number of people the Lord Jesus
sent our way to show care for us, especially our daughter Esther on her
birthday showering her with amazing gifts and their time. She had such a
blessed time in the Lord's house in the company of her
mommy,
grandmother, uncle Rajesh, uncle Rohit, uncle Ravi, Pastor Hugo,
Edwin, Marie, Calvin, Elise, David, Yvonne, Chloe, Chen Xi, Stacy, Sung
Wan, David, Jian, Colin, Connie, Pastor Ridge, Pastor Bucknell, Linda
Bucknell, Phoebe, Jeanne, Suzanne, Rodney, Andrea, Jason, Karthik,
Siddarth, Pooviah, Somreeta, Neha, Ankita, Nisha, Disha, Harini, Preethi,
sister Anuradha and brother Daniel, sister Beryl and brother Sudheer.
All the aunties and uncles that came for Esther's birthday was very
touching including all the children that came :)
But more than that, Jesus cares for your
birthday in life. Remember,
the Psalmist praises
the Lord knowing God SAW him before he was born but God did not stop
there. Instead, the Psalmist is so happy that God SCHEDULED each day of
his life before he even began to breathe. That is amazing to know that
the Psalmist left his life in the Lord's Helping Hands. But, the
Psalmist does not stop there but is so happy that his life has been
RECORDED in God's Book. If God SAW him, SCHEDULED his life, and
RECORDED his life, it feels so precious to the Psalmist that God is
THINKING about him constantly. It does not end there but the
Psalmist expresses that it is countless how many times God's THOUGHTS
turn towards him. And finally, he acknowledges when he wakens in the
morning, God still has not forgotten him but is STILL THINKING about him
to show God's Hand and love for him in his life. Thank you Jesus! Jesus
wants to do the same for you and will do for you!!!
What is precious is the love of Christ towards
you and me. So, that you and I can have victorious birthdays each year, Jesus went to the cross to pay the price
you could not pay to ransom you from sin's destructive bondage. That is
how much Jesus loves you. He loves you so much that He died on that
cross shedding His precious blood and came back to life on the third day
to save. Jesus cares for your birthday in life. Jesus wants to deliver
you. Every moment of your life is important to the Lord so never feel
that your life is not significant because for the One who created you,
your life is so significant that if you were the only person living,
Jesus would have still died for you to give you new life. That is
exciting to know so come as you are!
It does not matter what your age is for the God of
the Universe created you and has the copyright to your life that will
never expire. That means, whether you are O months or 100+ etc, He will love you and
reach you because that is the character of God to love. God is love and
in Him is life for our being. Yes, friend
God loves you so much that He sent His only
begotten Son to die for you so that whosoever believeth in Him shall not
perish but have Everlasting Life. That is
exciting to know.
I know it is exciting for me to know that Psalm
139:13-18 can be read as my birthday Psalm claiming the promises of God
knowing His thoughts turn towards you and me. Yes, they do friend!
Today
might be your birthday and if you are reading this, take the Word of the
Lord to heart so you don't drift away on your own. We studied Hebrews
2:1-4 led by Chloe yesterday where we focused on what we can do not to
drift away from the Lord.
If it is not your
physical birthday, it can be your born-again birthday. You can come to
Jesus as you are no matter what you have done or where you have been. He
loves you as you are and paid the price to set you free. In the Lord,
alone you can be happy and find your joy in Him. I am amazed to read
Psalm 139 and know how much the Lord cares for me and He cares for you
too.
If you don't know Jesus as your Lord and
Personal Savior, let today be your born-again birthday by giving your
life to the Lord so the angels in Heaven can celebrate it with you And
if you do know Him as your Lord and Personal Savior, you have started
another year of your life with the One who gives life. Yes, friend as
you celebrate your birthday or your born-again birthday, turn to the
Word of God for your direction and celebration in life. He wants to lead
you and me. Yes, He does! That is exciting to know!

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are my all in
all. You are my Prince of Peace, Rock, Savior, and Friend. You are my
Holy Father guiding me through to live a life of righteousness, holy
righteousness. Oh God, I need you more than ever. I need to feel your
hands around me holding me tight. I need your love to surround me so
that you can glow in my life. Help me please Jesus. I desire in your
presence. Thank you for guiding me to live a life of righteousness. Oh
God you love me more than ever. You hear my voice when I cry out to you.
When I seek your face, you fill me up. You are my all in all. Thank you
Jesus so much for your help no matter what I face, your grace is
available and you take my case. Thank you for hearing us and answering
us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! AMEN! (Most of the prayer is from a
vineyard song called “All in All”)
No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in
and resides with you! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with
the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend.
You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word
reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you
and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before
moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to
which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be
part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible
believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to
Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who
brings us hope, healing, and help!
No matter who you are, it is not ever too late
to join a Bible-believing church or a college fellowship. I highly
encourage each of you to come to Transformers Small Group on Friday
nights at 7:00 p.m. and Oakland International Fellowship on Sunday
mornings at 9:30 a.m. for prayer, 11:30 a.m. for worship, 10:30 a.m. for
Sunday School, and 12:30 p.m. for fellowship lunch.
May the Lord's presence and peace fill you with His love now and
forever! Amen!
