1 Kings 1-2; Psalm 83
*Click here to read these passages:
I love how God shows up when I read the Bible. I love how I can read a certain passage
at one time and have a specific part really move me, and then I can read that
same passage another day and get something else from it. God knows what I need to be hearing
from Him and what I need to be learning from Him.
Today one verse shined on the page while everything else kind of
faded in the background. The first
verse of Psalm 83:
“O
God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still.”
This is a psalm of Asaph, and I know that it meant something
somewhat different to Asaph than what it meant to me today… but still God used
it to remind me of something I needed to be reminded of. I think that is pretty cool…and I guess
why the Bible is called the living word of God!
God reminded me that I need to be sacrificing some time asking Him
to move some mountains. There are
things I need to ask God to not keep silent about, to not be still, but to move
in mighty ways. Things in my own
life and in my family, in our city, in our country, and in the nations…. “O
God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still.”
1 O God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God! NET
ReplyDeleteI read from the NET only because it is the best one for me. Everyone has a version that fits them best and this is the best one for me to help me "get it" I agree with Emily after reading today's passages. This verse has enlightened (Emily's words were "today one verse shined"
