Psalm 80

9/28/2020

0 Comments

 
So the Psalmist didn't have a squash vine in mind when they wrote this Psalm about a vine, it was a grape vine instead, but I think it fits. As the days are growing colder and filled with less sunlight, I'm anxiously waiting to see if these beautiful squash are going to fully ripen. They're just about there. I want God to tend this vine and preserve what has been planted so that we may enjoy its fruitfulness just as I want God to preserve and protect my life and those around me so that everyone may also enjoy their fruitfulness. May you feel the God of hosts look down from heaven upon you this day preserving and protecting your life.
Psalms in the world ... Psalm 80

Psalm 25

Psalms in the world ... Psalm 25

If you know the West Shore area then you know this iconic landmark. From being a home to native peoples for a millenia, to a boom town as a lumber mill and home to Italians, Norwegians and others, to the outdoor/retirement mecca that it is today, Somers (and Lakeside) have been landmark places on the shores of Flathead Lake. May we indeed feel our soul be lifted up as we hear Psalm 25 today.

Psalm 145

9/14/2020

​Finding an image or place for this Psalm today was kind of tough. The air outside, while better than some places in California, Oregon, Washington or Colorado (a few hot spots for fires) is still enough to make you choke. And then I stopped and looked up ...
One of the tragedies involved in all of the devastating fires that rarely gets mentioned is the destruction of all the trees. This is not meant to be an environmental comment but rather just one of reflection that something that has taken 200 plus years to grow is gone in an instant.
As we consider the "greatness" of God this Psalmist declares, may we look up and remember the beauty of the trees which stand towering above us all.
