Psalms.
This beautiful psalm arrived last night. My prayer is that this expression will encourage you today, & free you to write down your own...

I needed saving
I needed a way
To blink and open fresh eyes
To see splendour
To know safety in the darkness

Always searching for answers
Never knowing the question
Go far and spread my nets
Go and see what bounty I might catch
Roam, with weighted soles and frayed ropes

It seemed I was waiting forever
It seemed I was tethered to one place
Didn't know how to move
Didn't have the sight
Possessed by no reason

Suddenly life was more vivid
There was one beacon in the fog
Couldn't name or define it
Couldn't explain the shift
Love beyond normal realms

Words skated past my awe
Words evaded my gratitude
Here was the extraordinary answer to the inane questions
Here was the gentle warmth of the rising sun
Here was my everything

I had needed saving
Always been searching for answers
To feel love at my lowest
To see Him in all places
To know safety in the darkness

Now, I have it all.

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

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
