Sunday Psalms;

Tav.

Let my cry reach you, LORD; 
help me understand according to what you've said.

Let my request for grace come before you; 
deliver me according to your promise!

Let my lips overflow with praise because you've taught me your statutes.

Let my tongue declare your word, because all your commandments are righteous.

Let your power help me because I have chosen your precepts. 
LORD, I long for your saving help! 
Your Instruction is my joy!

Let me live again so I can praise you! 
Let your rules help me!  

Psalms 119:169-175 CEB

This is the last portion of Psalm 119, a call to Life.
A summary of all that has been before, repeating "Let me..." 
Let my cry reach You
Let my request for grace come before you
Let my lips overflow with praise
Let my tongue declare Your word
Let Your power help me
And the final "let me" is to "let me live again".
What does this journey seem like?
It could be a journey through grief and loss, that starts with crying to God, realizing again the need for grace, wanting to know and speak truth even when it can't seem to be found, and finally wanting to live again, the psalm inviting us into life again.
Our God is always inviting us into Life.
Let Him.

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
