Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him,
and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, 
and your justice as the noonday.
Psalm 37:5-6 ESV
These are tough words to sing when we are not seeing justice.
When nothing seems to change.
When God seems silent.
When He does not appear to be in action at all. 
When people are oppressed because of the colour of their skin, exploited & used because they are vulnerable, when whole communities are discarded in refugee camps, when whole countries suffer from poverty, when disease sweeps the planet, when someone we care about doesn't seem to be getting better, gets cancer...loses a child, can't have a child...the list of hurts and causes of pain is never ending.
Why won't you act Lord?
When we look at the cross, when we share in the bread and wine, we know that it's not because God doesn't love us.
An the Psalmist says:
Trust in Him 
Trust in Him anyway
And commit your way, choices, actions, thoughts and imagination to Him.
Trust Him regardless.

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
