Sunday Psalms;

Praise the LORD! 
Let my whole being praise the LORD!
I will praise the LORD with all my life; 
I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.
Dont trust leaders; 
dont trust any human beings - theres no saving help with them! Their breath leaves them, then they go back to the ground. On that very same day, their plans die too.
The person whose help is the God of Jacob - the person whose hope rests on the LORD their God - is truly happy! God: the maker of heaven and earth, 
the sea, and all that is in them, 
God: who is faithful forever...
Psalms 146:1-6 CEB
A big song of praise!
A song that invites us to praise with our life.
A song that carries a warning about getting distracted by following a person and not our God. 
Another person, no matter how clever, articulate, passionate, charismatic, can save.
David brings us back to the Eternal, the Creator, the One who holds the Big Story, who when we look at the vastness of things like the sea, when we consider all of the intricacies and connectedness of creation, He is the one who we see. 
He is the One we praise.

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
