Moving through

He doesn’t jump to resolve. Or rescue. The psalmist is moving through his pain and fear.

Moving through the murk, into trust.

He knows who God is. 

And cries out to Him.

Unfolding year

Unfolding year before us. Already scheduled with best-laid plans that can so quickly come apart. Scatter. 

The unexpected changes calendars. Disrupts orderly lives. Next steps. 

A look back at the past year is case-in-point.

City

“Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted….”

He will build you a strong and beautiful foundation. Sapphires. And your wall? Precious stones. (Isaiah 54:11-12)

Then, that word mothers hear. And sigh in relief.

“All your children shall be taught by the Lord, 

and great shall be the peace of your children.” (Isaiah 54:13)

Hope. For the city of Zion.
