Sunday Psalms 

Psalm 66
Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth!
Sing about the glory of his name! 
Tell the world how glorious he is.
66:1-2 NLT

This song has a bit of everything, starts with this call to shout, to sing, and to tell. 
Not shout at others, each other, those who aren't listening, but shout to God. 
This is a call to "all the earth" so just maybe the "shouting" is a way of being that praises God. 
A way of standing here. 
Yes what we do matters, but how we do it praises God.

Then David asks us to sing. 
Sing about the glory of his name. Music, singing, does something in us. Singing connects with us in every way, in our body, mind, emotions and spirit. What we sing matters.

Then it's tell. Tell the world how glorious he is. 
Tell the world what your life was like without God.
Tell the world how you met Jesus 
Tell the world how your life has changed.
Tell the world your story. 

Shout
Let your life join creation and shout praise to God
Sing 
Choose to sing with your whole being about our God.
Tell
Tell your story of God at work
And your story will join with the stories of countless others, and who one day, will stand together in one glorious choir...when all will be made new, when all that is hurt will be unhurt, when we will know fully what we have glimpses of, when we will see Jesus face to face and he will take those last tears...

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
