Sunday Psalms;

Psalms 149:1, 3-4 NLT
Praise the Lord! 
Sing to the Lord a new song. 
Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.
...
Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp. For the Lord delights in his people; 
he crowns the humble with victory.
Psalms 149:1, 3-4 NLT
Do you feel the freedom in this song?
Sing a new song.
Sing out loud.
Sing with your voice and instruments and your body, a whole person response.
There's freedom because Our God delights in you.
Delights!
And whether we get to experience "victory" in this life, there is a hint here that humility is going to bring something good. 
What was Jesus victory over?
Death. 
It wasn't over someone else, but over death, so that we can have Life.
Life is the reward. 
I wonder what that can look like today?
In all that we might be trying to hold, to keep in balance, the struggle, weight, where is Life found?
Where can Life break in?

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
