Sunday Psalms:
Let all that I am praise the Lord; 
with my whole heart, 
I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the Lord; 
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
Psalms 103:1-2 NLT
This song starts with a repeat of "Let all that I am praise the Lord".
Some days this is where we are at, happy to praise Him, ready to "let all that I am" speak praise to our God, sing praise, live out my life in a way that honours and praises. 
And then there's other days when I need this as a reminder:
"Let all that I am praise the Lord" because there's so much pushing in on me right now, world events, my nation's problems, my work, business, housing, money, health, relationships, fears of the future, the haunting of the past, and I need a reminder to simply let all that I am praise the Lord. 
To let my focus be on Him. 
Just for a moment. 
A minute.
A few minutes.
Maybe going to church could be part of that too.  Collectively letting all that we are praise the Lord. Allowing the collective spirit, the "all of us" to fill my gaps, to let the praise of our God into those parts of us that hold fear, despair, joy and hope. 
Let all that I am, all that we are, praise the Lord.

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
