Do not fret because of evildoers, 
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, 
and do good;
Dwell in the land,
and feed on His faithfulness.
Psalms 37:1-3 NKJV
We can feed on conspiracy theories, 
we can live in fear, 
we be envious of others.
I don't know what was going in David's world at the time he wrote this, but it could have been about 2020. There were people doing evil things and not only getting away with it, but prospering.
And his advice would be the same:
Trust in God 
Dwell with Him
Feed on Him
When we do that consistently it moves our perspective to our Eternal God, to our Just God, to our Saving God, to the Big Story of His love for people.
And it moves my perspective to my heart, and how our Holy God made a way to deal with my sin.
It moves us to Jesus at the centre of the story, the centre of history.
God in person.
Dwell with Him.
Trust in Him
And as we do that, simply do good.
Do good.
Lord, help me to see where I need to trust in you today, and prompt me where to do good.
Thanks
Amen.

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
