When I was in one of my first senior high Sunday school classes on my first call, I posed the question, "Is there any absolute truth that is true whether we or anyone else on the planet believes it or not?"
No one could think of anything. I suggested, "God is love." They argued me down. Kids who had been in church all of their lives.
Part of the problem is since the vast majority of us only interact with God at most once per week and then we mainly just interact with God's people, we wouldn't recognize him or his ways if they hit us in the face. The most passionately spiritual thing we can probably do is promote our 9 am education hour.
I learned something from Rock on Wednesday about an appropriately named business, out in the world reminding people who need to hear about God's presence.
The 99 restaurant trains folks who have been in prison and would otherwise be homeless to work with their company. "God turns life around."
I love how this psalm ends. Most of being God-expectant, God-ready is facing the right direction...toward him and his ways. When we do that, we will "sing laughter".
