Sunday Psalms;

We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. 
People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.
God says,
"At the time I have planned, 
I will bring justice against the wicked.
When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, 
I am the one who keeps its foundations firm." Interlude
Psalms 75:1-3 NLT
The intro to this song is:

For the choir director.
A song of Asaph.
To be sung to the tune of "Do not destory!".

Wondering if that was a popular song back in the day...a church favorite?
Anyhow this song of Asaph seems to be a reminder that when the world is in turmoil it's not necessarily God's judgement. 
That's gonna happen in some way, some time but not now. 
So.
Rest in God. 
Know that He is good.
That He is near.
I can leave the things that are outside my circle of responsibility to him. That's most people, most of the problems of the world. 
When the world is in turmoil...
Rest in God. 
Know that He is good, that He is near.

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
