I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfills 
          His purpose for me.

                     Psalm 57. 2

(God is at work.
God's purposes
   are profoundly deeper
   than I can ever know.
In Him,
all things hold together,
all things redeemed
         -- even this--
even what I cannot see
                or understand,
faithful to Him
      even in what
      is mystery to me.)

When I am afraid,
I put my trust in You.
In God,
   whose word I praise,
in God
   I trust without a fear.
What can flesh do to me?

                     Psalm 56. 3-4

(When I am afraid,
            I have two options:
I can freak out and panic,
or I can trust in God.
Trust and praise
       form a shield around me.
God may not pluck me
     out of danger or difficulty,
but He will protect
and strengthen me through it
              for His glory.)

Cast your burden on the LORD,
and He will sustain you;
He will never permit
the righteous to be moved.

                      Psalm 55. 22

(Everyone struggles 
               with something.
Commit it to the LORD,
trust in Him,
and watch what only God
     can do with it.
You are not alone.
"I am with you.")

But if 
the LORD creates 
     something new....

           Numbers 16. 30

(Something impossible,
something new
is God's specialty.
Watch for
God's Presence in this.
Even in this.
That we would 
    know Him more,
a whole new dimension 
               of God.
Not "You can do this?"
but "This is 
       Who You are.")

But my servant Caleb,
because he has
   a different spirit 
and has 
   followed Me fully...

           Numbers 14. 24

(Following God
does not mean adopting 
   a different lifestyle,
but God leading you
to an incredibly new
       trajectory in life.)

But God ....
    
       Psalm 52. 5

(His Presence 
   changes everything.
Remember that God
   is in this equation.)

And the people 
      complained ...

           Numbers 11. 1

(Grumbling makes us
look right past
God's goodness.)
