The earth and everything in it, 
the world 
and its inhabitants, 
belong to the Lord;
for he laid its foundation on the seas 
and established it on the rivers.
Psalms 24:1-2 CSB
These opening words of Ps24 encourage us to take a breath, to step back, to look up.
Our thoughts can be dominated by what's in front of us today...work, business, study, relationships, viruses, trouble, pressure...
This Psalm says regain some perspective.
Who is God?
Where are we in His story?
Take a breathe.
Take a moment.
Think on this:
The earth and everything in it is God's. He made it.
The people, everyone, are God's.
He made all that we can see and touch and hear and discover.
He is above
And beyond

Can you picture David writing these words somewhere, and contemplating who God is. His life had plenty going on...
Breathe.
Rest in that today.

Let Him speak to you about what's really important.

Let the freedom of that rest on you. 
And me.

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
