Pro tip: when you feel "forgotten by God" you will be feeling like it will be forever. Just ask David, as he works through an (inaccurate) season recorded in Psalm 13. He feels like God is hiding His face forever. He is challenged on that day: what do you do on the day when you "cannot find God"

He does the right thing and asks that the Lord would give light to his eyes: let me see this situation clearly; with the light of insight that only comes from You. Then with this renewed understanding, he then does the very difficult work of turning his feet and actions in a certain direction.

God is not mocked. He knows who is on His team. He knows who KISSES him and who KICKS Him.

But do WE KNOW who is on God's team. Let's look at both PROFESSION and PRACTICE: Who are you setting yourself in fellowship and service with each week? What are you regularly doing to experience AWE in His Word? These are ways you might know if you are kissing or kicking Him.

What DID you throw at God on your finest day?

What DID you throw at God on your worst day?

"Praise" literally means to throw. To cast.

We might directionally hurl praise, which is to steer correct attributes in His direction.

What you are throwing at God?

Anger is a huge destructive force that can ruin relationships outside of yourself and even inside your own soul. David realizes this in Ps 39. He has pretty good control of his tongue, but his heart is burning hot.

He makes the turn away from anger internally. He is struck by his anger. He realizes this is not what he wants to be doing with his remaining few moments on this earth. Let's imitate this.

The Psalms are of course a book of WORDS, but they are supposed to be conveying something: ideas, realities.

One of the ways it does that most effectively is to paint a physical picture with the words that it uses.

Here's one for today the Lord DRAWS US UP. Where? to Himself. How? by bending towards us. Who? to the meek, the bent.

So my prayer for us is: May the Lord BEND DOWN to DRAW UP the BENT OVER.

Today will be my mother's favorite verse: “Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:11. But who are we?

Ps 8:4: what is man that you are mindful of him?

Ps 103:14 He remembers we are dust

and yet, God choose to visit the meek. The meek shall inherit the earth Ps37

It is the meek, the bent that God chooses to be with.

Revelation 21:3 “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

The bent are my favorite kind of people. Subscribe and share.

What does God think about? Imagine we could look through the windows of heaven itself. What would we find Him occupied with mentally? Well, He tells us in Psalm 8. His mind is full of YOU. His mind if full of mankind.

If we look carefully to God, we'd find God looking with care at us.

I know it sounds mean, but I pray that the Lord's HEAVY HAND of conviction would be upon you. When you need it, nothing could be more welcome. Though it certainly is hard, it is much more desirable than the Lord's indifference.

The wonderful forgiveness of the Lord accessed by the heavy hand of conviction.

What does the presence of God feel like?

It feels like the heavy hand of conviction upon me. This is my prayer for you.

Please share today with all the needful you might know, which is everybody.
