We had an amazing church service. The kind that moves you to tears (okay I cry during most of the music anyway but who is really checking). Anyway the focus was on Psalm 1 and being truly happy. What a great message for this time in history. Anyway it started with a children's message with bubbles. They talked about how long bubbles last and then compared this to the "stuff" they had at home that made them happy. It was very sweet. Then the rest of the service followed suit.
Anyway the really interesting part was my onversation with my darling husband afterward. We were talking about the sermon when Molly interupted with "Turn left in 1 mile" You see Molly is our Nav system in the car (the name comes from Thor's hammer but that is a whole other story). We started talking about a GPS with God's design. For example wouldn't it be nice if you head down a path that is not good for you and you hear a sweet angelic voice say "Make a U Turn as soon as possible" or "you are off route!"
Here is the verse that inspired us today (BOLD faced is mine)
Psalm 1
BOOK I : Psalms 1-41
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers. "Make a UTurn now"
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night. "Recalculating route"
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away. "You are off route"
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. "You are off route"
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
So here is to staying on the right path and taking God's direction!
