The little things in life are silent distractions, trying to convince me I can do this or that on my own. So every day, seemingly all day long, I confront them, confess them and surrender anew.
I keep thinking of Psalm 68, the opening verse of which Quix has been using as a tagline lately, for it shows the proper formation of our procession:
...The chariots of God are tens of thousands
and thousands of thousands;
the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.When you ascended on high,
you led captives in your train;
you received gifts from men,
even from the rebellious—
that you, O LORD God, might dwell there.Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,
who daily bears our burdens.
Selah
Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death....Your procession has come into view, O God,
the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.In front are the singers, after them the musicians;
with them are the maidens playing tambourines.Praise God in the great congregation;
praise the LORD in the assembly of Israel.... Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth,
sing praise to the Lord,
Selah
to him who rides the ancient skies above,
who thunders with mighty voice.Proclaim the power of God,
whose majesty is over Israel,
whose power is in the skies.You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary;
the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.Praise be to God!
