Bible in a Year:

Before I formed you . . . I knew you.

Jeremiah 1:5 “You shouldn’t be here right now. Someone up there was looking out for you,” the tow truck driver told my mother after he had pulled her car from the edge of a steep mountain ravine and studied the tire tracks leading up to the wreck. Mom was pregnant with me at the time. As I grew, she often recounted the story of how God saved both our lives that day, and she assured me that God valued me even before I was born.

None of us escape our omniscient (all-knowing) Creator’s notice. More than 2,500 years ago He told the prophet Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” (Jeremiah 1:5). God knows us more intimately than any person ever could and is able to give our lives purpose and meaning unlike any other. He not only formed us through His wisdom and power, but He also sustains every moment of our existence—including the personal details that occur every moment without our awareness: from the beating of our hearts to the intricate functioning of our brains. Reflecting on how our heavenly Father holds together every aspect of our existence, David exclaimed, “How precious to me are your thoughts, God!” (Psalm 139:17).

God is closer to us than our last breath. He made us, knows us, and loves us, and He’s ever worthy of our worship and praise.

By:  James Banks

Reflect & Pray

For what aspect of God’s care would you like to praise Him this moment? How can you encourage someone with the thought that He cares for them today?

You’re amazing, God! Thank You for holding me up and getting me through every moment of the day.

When I was a kid, Travis was a SAC base. I remember the watching a B-52 taking off, and marveling at how the wingtips initially drooped, then flexed as the bomber increased speed on the runway. I also remember asking why the Hawk missile batteries belonged to the U.S. Army.

Great road...er, air....trip to Travis AFB. I flew near it [but not too close because of closed airspace] in a helicopter 🚁 with my son as the pilot. Great vantage point.

Travis AFB is (as I jokingly tell my wife), our “one-stop-shopping” resource.

Cheapest gas in CA? Check.

BX shopping? Check.

Commissary? DOUBLE CHECK.

Lunch (at the Food Court)? Check. (The only Arby’s for 40 miles around!)

Haircut? Check.

We hardly go anywhere else to shop, either.

Man am I GLAD that President Trump and the GOP Congress restored my BX/Commissary privileges on Jan 1 of this year!!!* :>)

*Federal Law passed in 2018 restored BX/Commissary/MWR privileges to Vets classified with a disablitity rating.

Haven’t been there since the USSR had 14 ICBM targeted on that location.
