Psalm 50:1 "God Speaks & Summons Your Earth" (August 17)

Every s-i-n-g-l-e day of our lives,
God speaks and summons you.
Psalm 50:1
You may be looking to find Him
in wise words of gifted gilded authors,
in weighted words of anointed pastors.

But, unplanned and unannounced,
our God shows up in our midst and
you will never know how the
Wind of the Spirit blows over you
until it just does.
Lest you try to build a good Kingdom.

God is at work and
something inside of each of us
Longs to figure things out...
Longs for packaging
How to Be a Better Wife
10 Ways to Be a Good Mom.

How you will know if you hear
Him Speak & Summon your earth
is found in Psalm 50:2.
Perfect in Beauty will be a God
Who pours out of you.
It won't be about you.
It won't be about you doing steps.
It will ALL be about a Beauty
shining forth out of you
in the midst of tragedy & tears
in the midst of failure & fears
in the midst of minutia & miniscule
in the very ordinary spectacular day
He has given you---this gift called today.
The Works of God!

  1. Squandering a life starts with squandering a day.

    The verses and your words remind me again, and somehow it feels more urgent..., that today is the gift. Today is the day. And to stop wasting time on anything not eternal.

    Then the day unfolds and I have another behind me where I feel it didn't count for Him.

    It's a new morning today. How will He shine more purely through this broken vessel of a life? Get out of the way, Annette.
