Sunday Psalms;

The Lord is king!
He is robed in majesty. Indeed, 
the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength.
The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.
Your throne, 
O Lord, 
has stood from time immemorial.
You yourself are from the everlasting past.
The floods have risen up, 
O Lord. 
The floods have roared like thunder; 
the floods have lifted their pounding waves.
But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, 
mightier than the breakers on the shore - the Lord above is mightier than these!
Your royal laws cannot be changed.
Your reign, 
O Lord, 
is holy 
forever and ever.
Psalm 93. NLT.
It would seem that whoever wrote this song had experienced some kind of flooding event, some kind of natural disaster, and this song is some kind of resposnse.
A reminder that our God is bigger than the disasters that might come upon the land, that might impact us.
A reminder that there's a Bigger Stroy here, a reminder of our God's eternal nature, outside of space and time, and there's an unsaid security in that, hope in that, no matter what disaster hits, there is a Bigger Story, and we're going to be OK.

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
