Sunday Psalms;

God, 
how precious your thoughts are to me; 
how vast their sum is!
If I counted them, 
they would outnumber the grains of sand; 
when I wake up, 
I am still with you.
Psalms 139:17-18 CSB
This song of David's has taken us on a journey from David's thoughts, his inner world, being known, even to his thoughts. 
This song explores the created world in which we live, and the journey back to the time when David's life started, his personal creation story, and how our God is woven in to all the strands of his story.
And here David tries to grasp the immenseness of God's mind, his thoughts (same word used in v2 for David's thoughts), and then leaves us with this idea that God is always with him.
With.
Perhaps even in his dreams somehow.
Maybe today we need the reminder of the vastness of our God's mind, of His imagination, or maybe today, it's the reminder that He is With us, chooses to, because we are Beloved.

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
