A song of pilgrimage. 

"Let there be peace on your walls"
...
I will pray for your good.

Psalms 122:7, 9 CEB
As we sit with these gentle invocations, who comes to mind who needs to hear this from you today?
Who needs to know that you're praying for their good today?
A spouse, partner, friend, flatmate, child, parent, sibling, cousin?
That person who you don't know that well but is struggling with their health, with grief, with work or study pressure?
That person who seems to have it all together, yet something in your spirit is prompting you to reach out and pray for their good, that peace might be on their walls.
That person who suffered a loss and the rest of the world has gone back to "normal".
That person who has some big decision to make, or has made it and now stepping into something new, "may there be peace on your walls, I am praying for your good."
That person who's fear or anxiety is hard to understand, yet they're experiencing it often, how can you let them know that you're praying for their good, for peace to be upon them?
Who needs to hear from you today?

(Maybe there's something in you that needs to hear this from you today.
You're allowed to know peace on your walls too)

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
