Summer with the Psalms
Tuesday June 11th 2024
“I trust in the Lord for protection. So why do you say to me, “Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety! The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows at those whose hearts are right. The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?” But the Lord is in his holy Temple; the Lord still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth. The Lord examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence. He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked, punishing them with scorching winds. For the righteous Lord loves justice. The virtuous will see his face.”
Psalms 11:1-7 NLT
Pastor Tim’s Reflection
When you lose something where do you turn too? Sometimes I can lose things and get all sorts of turned around. Everything that makes sense become insensible and everywhere the item should be it is not. Instead of running around when I lose something I should slow down, seek God in prayer and calm down. Then eventually I can recenter and find myself. It’s like a coping mechanism; in order to find the item I have lost I have to rediscover the peace I lost.
When we lose our peace it demonstrates we are uncertain, unsure and unaware of Gods presence, Gods victory and Gods sovereignty. This demonstrates a lack of faith and an absence of maturity in Christ. By seeking God first, by becoming more aware of His love for us and our overall perspective of Loving Him first our peace can surely return to us.
So instead of you and I rampaging through all our bags, panicking that we have lost our phone or our keys let’s return back to God in the immediacy of our needs.
Let’s get so close to Christ that when nothing makes sense it is Christ who become the only one that can makes sense. When we get so close to Jesus nothing else is able to impact us in the same way. When we surrender, seek Him first and when we realize that it truly is we that because we lost our focus it is here, and not the item, that we find what we are truly looking for.
Without Jesus we are truly lost, but with Jesus everything becomes clear and we can begin to see again, to hear again and to believe again that we can recover everything we have lost and return to be found in Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!
Prayer
Father thank you that when we are lost, we are found in you O Lord and that we can always, everywhere and anywhere come back to your feet, to your face and to your name! The name that is above every other name. Help us O Lord to not get so lost, but to be found again in Jesus Christ. Amen
“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:26 NLT
