Now I know 

that the Lord 

saves His anointed; 

He answers him 

from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. 

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, 

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

Psalms 20:6-7 BSB

Some days it seems that the only thing that will help is God reaching down from heaven and moving things around in our lives. 

Making things right in this world. 

Fixing what is broken.

A few Psalms earlier and David writes "how long Lord?"

We have the benefit that David didn't have of knowing that God did enter in, that He did more than reach down from heaven, He turned up, joined in, arrived.

And there were glimpses of power, multitudes fed, water turned to wine, blind could see again, people who couldn't walk could, forgiveness walked the earth. 

And Jesus also sweat blood, gave up his own plans, and suffered. 

In the midst of that first Easter there was no obvious victory. 

Just faith. 

Trust in the name of the Lord.

In the upsidedown kingdom, trust in the name of the Lord. 

Keep walking in faith, in the small, the everyday, in the now and the not yet, trust in the name of the Lord our God.
