Where Is This God?

Good Morning, Loved Ones,

Holy Week is upon us and we are reminded that God is with us through the hard times and is perhaps best known and experienced in and through the deepest challenges of our lives.

Psalm 42 (The Message)

^1-3 A white-tailed deer drinks from the creek;
I want to drink God,
deep draughts of God.
I'm thirsty for God-alive.
I wonder, "Will I ever make it—
arrive and drink in God's presence?"
I'm on a diet of tears—
tears for breakfast, tears for supper.
All day long
people knock at my door,
Pestering,
"Where is this God of yours?"

Can we thank God for the worst of times?

I give thanks for my tears.
Thanks be to God for heartaches and headaches.
Thanks, Lord, for my missteps and failures.
Thank you for my weaknesses.
Thank God for my enemies.
And thank you, Lord, for being with me through it all.

Peace,
Pastor Rick
