Messy and Mundane
What if we viewed our purpose on this earth through the perspective that it’s not about “our goals and desires” but that God wants to do His work through us to advance His kingdom on this earth? What if we believed that we are so uniquely created by Him and there’s something only we can do and be to let His love shine through to the places and spaces we find ourselves in?
Sabbath and Safe Place
In Psalm 3:7-8 and Psalm 4:1-5 we see the heart of God be called upon over and over as the One who can deliver. The One who will make all things right, and the One who sustains us as we journey out our walking with Him.
Dwelling Place
In light of God’s eternal nature, teach us. Let us learn and gain wisdom from You, O Sovereign God. Our ability to gain wisdom lies in our ability to shift to an eternal perspective. We number our days and live according to God’s timeline, not our own. And that happens when we do as Moses opened the psalm: we make God our dwelling place. Not just the place we run to when there’s trouble, but the place we stay, live, and abide.
Let’s Be Brave
To be certain, there is plenty in this world to scare us—globally and in our own personal journey. And being ‘brave’ may be trendy, but a Biblical call to courage has always been a Christian’s weapon against fear and uncertainty. Sadly, it does not appear to be something we easily or often possess. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be repeated so often.
