Psalms 82 - God or gods?



"A psalm of Asaph. God takes a stand in the divine council, gives judgment in the midst of the gods. "How long will you judge unjustly and favor the cause of the wicked? Selah".  Psalms‬ ‭82:1-2‬

Psalms 82 - God or gods?  In the stillness of the morning, God can hardly be heard, His voice is soft and barely a word.  He allows you the opportunity to contemplate what is being said and how.  Now for gods, are they quiet, do they wait patiently, no just the opposite, they demand service, they speak loudly.  ""Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve him completely and sincerely. Cast out the gods your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD."

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24:14‬.  Without the stillness in your life, you don't realize how you are serving the gods.  God knocks, are you listening?

What is God saying to me:  I came to serve,  in the stillness I can be heard.  There are no clanging bells or loud outbursts only gentle reassurance that You are on the right path.  Trust in My divine judgement.  

Dear Lord God, there is time to think in the stillness, to visit and listen for the path forward.  You are not a god of pressure or demands but the God of justice who sits and listens, gives sage counsel and reveals the mysteries of life.  I thank You for the gentle reminders to be still, to not rush into the day, to empty my thoughts upon You and just be.   Prayers for all those who have rushed into the day, following the gods into oblivion and being overwhelmed by life itself.  Sing Your song Lord into our hearts that we may catch our breath and perceive You in our midst.  Prayers for a family dealing with a medical issue, it will be ok.  Bless this day Father, we are prepared for what it brings.  Amen. 

Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us. 

St Joesph, Pray for us.
