From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger. When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place – what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?<\/em> – Psalm 8:2-4<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s just start right here. It’s been difficult for me to write a Worship Wednesday this week because the news has been so distracting and demoralizing, even defeating at times.<\/p>\n

How do we let that happen? Given the God we know who also knows us (1 Corinthians 8:3<\/a>). Nothing in our world right now is a surprise to Him. Is He angry at how sin is abounding? Absolutely. A pure and measured anger. An anger that accompanies His perfect compassion for the suffering of His children.<\/p>\n

Gentle and Lowly – the Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers<\/em> – Dane Ortlund<\/a> – highly recommend this for our comfort in knowing Jesus<\/p>\n

In this season of distress, our own compassion is matched by our accompanying anger at the wrongs around us. Our attention is drawn to what’s seen and we forget the glorious unseen.<\/p>\n

Author, pastor Tim Keller<\/a>‘s tweet helped me clear my head.<\/p>\n

Oh Lord, help us remember You. You are near and You are wholly and perfectly feeling the pain this world is experiencing. Your plan is in motion…whether we see it or not. You are moving in our lives today. We do not need to fear.<\/strong> Our eyes are on You right now.<\/p>\n

Maverick City<\/a> + UPPER ROOM<\/a>‘s song Remember <\/em><\/a>applies well to these moments of upheaval and struggle. It reflects Jesus’ command to remember Him through the Lord’s Supper and takes it farther to a daily sacrifice of praise. What He did for us we could not do for ourselves or each other. <\/strong>The Lord Jesus is still our advocate and intercessor. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n

Worship<\/a> and remember with me.<\/p>\n

We see You on the cross
\nAnd You’re beautiful, God
\nThe blood speaks a better word, yeah<\/p>\n

The bread, Your body

The holes in Your hands
\nAnd the wounds in Your side
\nThirty-nine lashes
\nBrought me back to life
\nAnd before resurrection
\nThere was a grave
