Sunday Psalms

Psalms 115:2-7 NLT

Why let the nations say, "Where is their God?"

Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.

Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.

They have mouths but cannot speak, 

and eyes but cannot see.

They have ears but cannot hear, 

and noses but cannot smell.

They have hands but cannot feel, 

and feet but cannot walk, 

and throats but cannot make a sound.

Psalms 115:2-7 NLT

This song seems to be a bit of a challenge about what we put our faith in. We may not have the household gods or the temples to the gods that may have been the thing when this song was written, but we do put our faith in things:

The economy

Money 

Business 

Countries

Governments 

Democracy 

Technology 

Our own resilience 

Health 

What makes your list?

This psalm reminds us to return our faith to the Living God, to the Big Story that has and is continuing to unfold, a story of Love.

Even when today's circumstances might be full of sadness, loss, despair, even when today's circumstances include victories and breakthroughs and progress, we continue to put our faith in the Living One who calls us Beloved.
