And why is He so silent in the midst of such oppression and rejection?
This psalm 115 is Passover song singing about that deliverance from Egypt.
You, O God, rise above the vain thoughts. You, O God can be neither felt or touched or seen or heard yet You are so very real to all of us. You, O God, are not a Voice Mail away; You are in Your Heavens, a very present real God. Doing exactly what You are pleased to do.
So, now, where is the God of the Red Sea? Unshaken. Unchanged. "Undisturbed." (Spurgeon) Immutable. Immortal. Invisible. And at the end of the day, You are in your heavens fulfilling Your Word. And at the end of the drama of this Eternal Story, You will show up! Spurgeon wrote: They wanted You to come down from the Cross. Now, they want You to come down from the heavens----then, they will believe. O God, may we believe in this present moment. You have done what You have pleased! I surrender.
DEAR GOD, PLEASE CHANGE ME IN MY 10,000 MOMENTS AS WE FACE OPPOSITION FROM THOSE AGAINST US. May God silence, once again, those who are against me. Psa 115:3.
PHOTO: Stood on this bridge and cried out the God Who parted the Red Seas. Would you part mine? And even if you don't, may I find you in this?
Ooops. Forgot to hit "post" last night. We had just moved all my earthly possessions into the attic of our home in FW. Downsizing. Ecstatic and Exhausted.
