No suffering,
Nothing Stops us from ascribing glory to God.
Bless His Name.
May the ambition of our hearts
be bountiful. No lean souls.
Charles Spurgeon writes that Psalm 106 begins and ends with Hallelujah! Blessed be His Name. And all the space inbetween bemoans Israel's sin and the extraordinary patience of our God. "We do well to bless the Lord both at the beginning and the end of our meditations when sin and grace are the themes." This sacred song is occupied with the historical part of the OT. It's the history that David holds. Spurgeon said the history of Israel is "so depreciated and yet David esteemed them beyond his necessary food, and made them his songs in the house of pilgrimage." Divine Goodness over all rising generations.
"But soon they forgot what He had done.
And they did not wait
for His Plan to unfold."
Psalm 106:13
And in the desert
they gave in!
May we wrestle well in these deserts of ours.
When that word comes down to us?
The one we hoped never to hear? What will we do?
Will our faith flame strong? It's not that our faith will change our circumstances.
It's all that our God will show up fully to quiet and calm our hearts.
For in this world, you will have troubles.
Surrendered. Dependent.
And our plans may change,
but the purposes of our heart remain forever.
Psalm 112:7 He is not afraid of bad news. His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
Psalm 112:7 He is not afraid of bad news. His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
May I see a little deeper this moment that life is all about
what I am trusting in---outcomes or Omnipotence.
