My Bible reading this morning included Psalm 60 which seemed appropriate in light of what has transpired in the past weeks and months in our nation and world… I’m almost afraid to read or watch the news. My prayer is that you will let the truth of it challenge your heart as it did mine this morning and see if you don’t find its message appropriate and challenging…
“God! you walked off and left us, kicked our defenses to bits and stalked off angry. Come back. Oh please, come back! You shook earth to the foundations, ripped open huge crevasses. Heal the breaks! Everything’s coming apart at the seams… But then you planted a flag to rally your people, an unfurled flag to look to for courage. Now do something quickly, answer right now, so the ones you love best are saved… You aren’t giving up on us, are you, God? … Give us help for the hard task; human help is worthless. In God we’ll do our very best; He’ll flatten the opposition for good.” (from Psalm 60 The Message)
One thing for sure… I don’t want this nation I love to fit the description of Judah I read this morning in Jeremiah 22.21: “I warned you when you felt secure, but you said, ‘I will not listen!’ This has been your way from your youth; you have not obeyed me!”
“YOU AREN’T GIVING UP ON US, ARE YOU GOD? GIVE US HELP… HUMAN HELP IS WORTHLESS!”
