Sunday Psalms;
For the Music Leader.
A psalm of David

Rescue me from evil people, LORD! 
Guard me from violent people who plot evil things in their hearts, who pick fights every single day!
They sharpen their tongues like a snake's; spider poison is on their lips.

Selah 

Protect me from the power of the wicked, LORD! 
Guard me from violent people who plot to trip me up!
Arrogant people have laid a trap for me with ropes. 
They've spread out a net alongside the road. They've set snares for me. 

Selah  

Psalms 140:1-5 CEB
If you have or are experiencing bullying, being verbally abused, attacked, trapped by someone else in a way or place you don't want to be, then perhaps there's something in David's song that resonates with you. 
Perhaps David's cries are your cries. 
For those who have been pushed around, pushed down, disregarded, hearing David's voice express his  experience may validate yours.
This song is here for a reason, maybe if nothing else to remind us that God heard David's cry, his song, and He hears yours 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
