WPC: Elemental: Wind

This week THE DAILY POST HAS ASKED US TO SHOW THEM OUR PICTURES OF THE ELEMENTS EARTH, WIND, FIRE AND WATER.

I am choosing to break the challenge down into four parts. Today we will be talking about wind or air.

Morning Direction From Scripture 8-10-17

20170717_134854

Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
    and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales,
    together they are lighter than a breath of air.

10 Don’t make your living by extortion
    or put your hope in stealing.
And if your wealth increases,
    don’t make it the center of your life.

11 God has spoken plainly,
    and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;
12     unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
    according to what they have done. Psalm 62: 9-12

What are the dangers of seeing ourselves as powerful?

How do the powerful appear? What are they really?

Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
    for my hope is in him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress where I will not be shaken.
My victory and honor come from God alone.
    He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
O my people, trust in him at all times.
    Pour out your heart to him,
    for God is our refuge. Interlude Psalm 62:5-8

What does interluding look like for you?
