Psalm 32

"Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayer to you;
out of a time of distress, the rush of might waters shall not reach them."
Psalm 32:6

If there is anyone actually following along here you might be noticing a common theme in both the psalms and the pictures: water. I really hadn't paid much attention to it until the past several weeks as I have been going through the psalms one by one and have begun to notice all the water references. But it makes sense doesn't it? In a land such as the middle east where there is more dry space then there is lush watered ground water takes on a new importance. So the use of water imagery gets people's attention.
I'm finding that visually it is the same here for me. I'm being drawn to the places of rushing water and flowing streams. The deep blue serenity of Crater Lake and the majesty and power of rivers such as the Rogue River seem to say; "Come and sit here, look and ponder at the majesty of God". In the midst of this I find myself praying. I'm not praying to be delivered from times of distress but that I might simply be faithful.
