Psalms 34 MSG

I bless God every chance I get; 
my lungs expand with his praise. 

I live and breathe God; 
if things aren't going well, 
hear this and be happy: 
...
God met me more than halfway, 
he freed me from my anxious fears. 

Look at him; 
give him your warmest smile. 
Never hide your feelings from him. 

When I was desperate, 
I called out, 
and God got me out of a tight spot. 
God's angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray. Open your mouth and taste, 
open your eyes and see - how good God is.

Blessed are you who run to him. 
Worship God if you want the best; 
worship opens doors to all his goodness. 

...

Come, 
children, 
listen closely; 
I'll give you a lesson in God worship. 

Who out there has a lust for life? 
Can't wait each day to come upon beauty? Guard your tongue from profanity, and no more lying through your teeth. Turn your back on sin; do something good.

 Embrace peace - don't let it get away! 

God keeps an eye on his friends, 
his ears pick up every moan and groan. 
...

Is anyone crying for help? 
God is listening, ready to rescue you. 

If your heart is broken, youll find God right there; 

if you're kicked in the gut, hell help you catch your breath. 

Disciples so often get into trouble; 
still, 
God is there every time. 
...

The wicked commit slow suicide; they waste their lives hating the good.

God pays for each slave's freedom; 
no one who runs to him loses out.

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
