For the Lord 
is a great God, 
a great King 
above all gods. 
The depths of the earth are in his hand, 
and the mountain peaks are his. 
The sea is his; 
he made it. 
His hands 
formed the dry land.
Psalms 95:3-5 CSB
It seems that the psalmist here is looking for the most powerful things, the biggest and most expansive things that are in his experience.
The power of Kings and the power that the gods seem to have over people.
Whatever it is that goes on inside the earth. I wonder if he had ever seen a volcano or a lava flow?
The height of the mountains 
The expanse, the power, the wonder, of the sea.
Everything he attributes to Yahweh, to God. 
The psalmist is grounding us the best way he can in God's world. Placing us firmly in God's world.
May we today,
Plant ourselves
In God's world.
May we today
Open our eyes
To his creation
To his beauty
To what he has made
And see Him in it.
Know that 
We are part of it
May we today
See the power
The height
The depth
The expanse 
Of God's creation
And know 
The heart that is
infused in it all.

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
