Psalm 68:11-23

Psalm 68:11-23
The Message (MSG) 

********************

  Tomorrow, I'm driving to Ft. Wayne, Indiana to spend a few hours there.  Along the way, I'll be fairly oblivious to the fact that I'm sitting in a vehicle weighing several thousand pounds traveling down the highway at a high rate of speed driven by thousands of explosions occurring a few feet from where I sit.  All the while, my primary concern will be what's on the radio.
  We're often oblivious to the power around us.  Plugging a hair dryer into the wall, we forget that the other end of that outlet might be a mighty, rushing river or a nuclear reactor.  We are simply grateful to be able to flip the switch and have the lights come on.
  In the same manner, we forget that the Almighty God, Creator and King of the universe, is for us, on our side, pushing all of his power to fight for us against the forces of evil.  God has such power, but we forget about it, focusing on ourselves so intently that we forget to offer our problems and milieus up to God, forgetting the power God has offered to use for us.
  God is for you.  God saves.  God is mighty and powerful, and we should cling to him.

May you trust in the power of God
