ALL FOR A SMILE

Ps. 80:19, from THE MESSAGE,  says, "God of the Angel Armies, come back!  Smile  your blessing smile!  That will be our salvation."


I love the picture this verse from Psalm 80, a psalm of salvation, sends!  First, God of the Angel Armies. Just imagine!  Thousands upon thousands of angels, not too different from us, perhaps, white-robed and winged, all in row upon row surrounding God.  God has a brilliant glow, whiter than the white we know about, and lit like the sun without the sun's terrible heat, but is lovingly warm.


God is smiling.  That is, I think He must be smiling.  Our hearts are  beating fast, but still we have a great peace within.  We just know God is smiling!


You, God, your plan, your love, your restoration of the world--these will be our salvation.  And you brought those things to us in the form of Jesus Christ over 2,000 years ago!  Blessed be your name, our God of the Angel Armies. I pray you will not be disappointed with me, and that what I say and what I do will always cause you to smile.  Amen.
