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.

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

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,  for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see - such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. Colossians 1:15-16 NLT OK so this is an English translation of a letter Paul wrote to a church 2,000 years ago, but does it feel like Paul is wrestling with words and ideas to try and capture all of who Jesus is, of who God is, of how does it work that the walking around Jesus was also there before the beginning of the beginning of everything we can see and touch and know. Not only that but Jesus was somehow the agent of everything that has been made in the physical, social, and spiritual.  Jesus is at the centre of it all.  Walking around Jesus. Cooking fish for breakfast Jesus. Heart aching as he ...
