Sunday Psalms;

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! 
His faithful love endures forever.
Let all Israel repeat: 
"His faithful love endures forever."
Let Aaron's descendants, the priests, repeat:
"His faithful love endures forever."
Let all who fear the Lord repeat:
"His faithful love endures forever."
Psalms 118:1-4 NLT
Before the writer of this song heads off into the things that they want to share, the song starts with these 4 verses:
Grounding verses.
Grounding in truth.
No matter what comes next;
"His faithful love endures forever."
Whatever we are facing;
"His faithful love endures forever."
Whatever our worries, anxieties, our fears;
"His faithful love endures forever."
Grounding in truth;
"His faithful love endures forever."
Planting ourselves on rock when the storms of life are crashing in;
"His faithful love endures forever."
Knowing that in the Big Story nothing can wash us away;
"His faithful love endures forever."
When we feel overwhelmed, in despair, the Truth is that we are Beloved, even there, even in the valley of the shadow, because "His faithful love endures forever."
The psalmist repeats this and invites us to join in;
"His faithful love endures forever."

"His faithful love endures forever."

"His faithful love endures forever."

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
