Often in these Selah reflections, you'll hear me talking about David in the Bible, talking about David's boldness, his fearlessness, his courage, but I don't do that as a call for us to be like David, but rather as a call for us to believe in David's God. That is to put our trust into God whom David put his trust in. For you see, David did not look within himself or courage, nor do we. Rather we want to look to David's God, to look to the God that David believed in. And as we do that, we can be as courageous as David if we keep our eyes on David's God. So today we're looking again at a Psalm of David in order to see the God and whom David believes, the God on whom David literally stakes his life.

As a pastor and a Chaplain, I've often been asked through the years to read two psalms to people. Two psalms that just really seem to speak to and encourage people, whether they're struggling with cancer or they're wanting to get ahead. You probably won't be surprised by the first psalm that I'm so often asked to read, it's Psalm 23, that great shepherd psalm about the Lord as our Shepherd. The next Psalm, I am often asked to read a Psalm 139, it is a wonderful Psalm, a psalm that my wife and I read together most every night before we go to sleep. I don't have time today to look at the entire psalm, but I do want to introduce it...

Hey. How about some good news? Would you like some? Well, I've got good news for you. You did nothing to make God love you, and you can't do anything to make him stop. That's the clear message of a Psalm I'm looking at today and that I wanna pass on to you.

My son's family has a wonderful dog that's an Australian Shepherd. Now, I don't know if you've ever had any experience with an Australian Shepherd, but just let me tell you this, it needs a job to do. It needs to work. It's active. And you know that's not just something that we would say of Australian Shepherds, it's true of we humans too, that we need a job, we need to be doing something that counts. That makes a difference. Well, even if we're retired, we want to be doing something in this world for God, and his kingdom. We want to do good works.

Albert Einstein said that he thought the most important question facing humanity was if the universe was friendly... Well, that is an interesting question, isn't it? Asked by a man, certainly a genius, but a man who didn't think much beyond atoms and electrons and physical existence... No, I have a better question. A more wonderful question. And that is the question asked by the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 8, verse 31, What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? That's a better question. And then whether the universe is friendly or not. If God is for us, who is against us?

Henry David Thoreau said, the path of least resistance leads to crooked rivers and crooked men. Good words, I think as you and I live in a culture where it can be so tempting to take the path of least resistance, tempting to just go along, to get along. Well, I was in college, home for spring break, talking excitedly with my mom about what I was learning and what I was doing, and my mother listened quietly, and then she warned me, Tim, you're like a sponge soaking up everything around you.

I have some good news for you. Good news for you, as you seek to be in the world but not of the world. Good news for you as you try to navigate the craziness of a post-Christian world without being harmed, without being corrupted by the world.

Have you ever been going through a difficult time and someone says to you, I know what you're going through? As well-intention as those words might be, I know what you're going through can sound hollow when you just buried your husband. Or when you're caring for a special needs child. Or when you've lost your job.

Have a word for you today. It's the word "peace." Is there a more lovely, a more wonderful word than peace? That's why early Christians loved to greet one another with the word "peace" because that's what they had experienced, peace. The Bible calls God the God of peace. And Jesus it calls the Prince of Peace.

Do you ever struggle with whether or not God really forgives you? Perhaps you know in your head that God forgives you. Your theology tells you that God forgives you, but it just hasn't sunk in yet.
