Sunday Psalms;
Saul had sent soldiers to David's house to kill him.
Most of Psalm 59 is what David wants to see done to his enemy...finding a place or a way to express our thoughts and feelings is so important, even when they're thoughts of what we'd like to see God do, how we'd love him to step in and act. 
But he ends this song with this:
"But as for me, 
I will sing 
about your power. 
Each morning 
I will sing 
with joy 
about your unfailing love. For you 
have been 
my refuge, 
a place of safety 
when I am in distress.
Psalms 59:16 NLT
Even though David knows his enemy is literally outside his door, he chooses to sing, to find a song of praise, when he is distressed he remembers who God is, that He is that place of safety, that He is refuge.
And this song invites us to join in.
When the enemy is right there, when we are distressed, to find a song of praise, and to remember, to hold to the Truth of Who God Is.

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
