I've been reading through Psalms lately and this one just really stood out to me. It's pretty amazing:
Psalm 68: 1-19
1May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him.
2As smoke is blown away by the wind, may you blow them away; as wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before God.
3But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.
4Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds his name is the Lord and rejoice before him.
5A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
6God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
7When you went out before your people, O God, when you marched through the wasteland, Selah
8the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
9You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance.
10Your people settled in it, and from your bounty, O God, you provided for the poor.
11The Lord announced the word, and great was the company of those who proclaimed it:
12“Kings and armies flee in haste; in the camps men divide the plunder.
13Even while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of [my] dove are sheathed with silver,
its feathers with shining gold.”
14When the Almightyd scattered the kings in the land, it was like snow fallen on Zalmon.
15The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains;
rugged are the mountains of Bashan.
16Why gaze in envy, O rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign, where the Lord himself will dwell forever?
17The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord [has come] from Sinai into his sanctuary.
18When you ascended on high, you led captives in your train; you received gifts from men, even frome the rebellious that you, O Lord God, might dwell there.
19Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,who daily bears our burdens
Wow. I just thought that was really encouraging. The whole beginning is about how powerful and awesome God is, but he daily bears our burdens
How cool is it that a God that is that powerful "his chariots are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands" "his enemies are scattered as smoke in the wind" daily concerns himself with what is burdening us. All the small stupid stuff that we stress over as well as the big stuff.
I thought that was cool and worth sharing.
