The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!
The earth trembles at his glance; 
the mountains smoke at his touch.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. 
I will praise my God to my last breath!
May all my thoughts be pleasing to him, 
for I rejoice in the Lord.
Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth; 
let the wicked disappear forever. 
Let all that I am praise the Lord. 
Praise the Lord!
Psalm 104:31-35 NLT
This song tries to grasp the world both as it is, and how it should be, how the song writer imagines it to be, fully restored and functioning how God intended. 
It's a song that ends with both God and the songwriter seeing good in the world. 
How easy is it for me to miss the good, the creative genius of God's design, the harmony, peace, shalom, of God's world, the work of peoples hands to construct a good place to live and work, the beauty of kindness, the joy in the small, the everyday...
Let's not miss the good today.
And praise God in it, practice gratitude as we step through today.

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
