Sunday Psalms;

A psalm of praise.
Of David.

I will lift you up high, 
my God, 
the true king. 
I will bless your name forever and always.
I will bless you every day. 
I will praise your name forever and always.
The LORD is great and so worthy of praise! God's greatness can't be grasped.  
Psalms 145:1-3 CEB
This psalm, this song seems like a big shift from the last 5, where there have been repeated calls to be heard by God.
While David might be a king, who gets praise and honour, he places God as The King, worthy of praise and honour.
Human greatness can be grasped and measured, but there's a Bigger Story here that David finds himself part of. 
And David's response is to praise His Name every day. To not lose sight of Who God Is in his day-to-day.
Perhaps that's the invitation for us too. The last few psalms have been about when things are not going well, and this one seems different.
When we have success, when things are going Ok, going well, where there is progress and goodness and thriving, to choose to see God for his greatness, to give Him honour and praise in success, in the wins.
To recognise the Bigger Story that we're part of.

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
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
