Hidden Traps to a Circle of Quiet.
“Say this: ‘God, you’re my refuge. I trust in you and I’m safe!’ That’s right – he rescues you from hidden traps…” -Psalm 91
Lord, rescue us from ourselves… the most hidden trap of all. Set us free in you.
“Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us – you’ve been so good to us! We’re walking on air! All we are and have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King!” -Psalm 89
Replace our self awareness with God awareness! Let your vibrant beauty overflow these earthly vessels.
“If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God, “I’ll get you out of any trouble. I’ll give you the best of care if you’ll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times; I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party. I’ll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!” -Psalm 91
“Beauty” and “Holy” make your palace rule, God, to the very end of time. -Psalm 93
Help us cling to what is truly Good! Beautiful and Holy and nothing else.
“How blessed the man you train, God, the woman you instruct in your Word, Providing a circle of quiet within the clamor of evil…” -Psalm 94
And let us be filled with your peace despite the storm raging around us. Amen.
