The works of the LORD are magnificent; they are treasured by all who desire them.  
...
God proclaimed his powerful deeds to his people and gave them what had belonged to other nations.
God's handiwork is honesty and justice; all God's rules are trustworthy
...
Fear of the LORD is where wisdom begins; sure knowledge is for all who keep God's laws. God's praise lasts forever!
Psalms 111:2, 6, 7, 10 CEB
111 is our emergency number and this maybe a useful Psalm when we're facing an emergency, when our circumstances threaten to overwhelm our ability to manage them, when the world's problems seem too big, this song might help to us:
In our emergency what does God saying to me?
In what or who am I placing my faith?
Where am I going for wisdom?
This song reminds us that our God's work is justice, that he will restore what has been taken, he will set things right. And we can trust Him with that (maybe not how I want it, when I want it, but we can trust Him with the Big Story).
He is and will be worthy of our praise.

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
