But even with that great promise - the promise that makes the Judeo-Christian story the greatest story ever told - there are many times I've been left asking "What about today?".
So about today, I'm reminded of one of my favorite Psalms. In it, David is dealing with the everyday dangers of being king of a fledgling nation. He was, as he was often, concerned with the enemies of Israel. He was concerned with his personal enemies. And finally, he cried out to Yahweh to look at him and to lift him above his oppressors.
At the end, though, David expresses his faith in God in a most beautiful way.
I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;So I think I'll follow David's example today. I'm waiting to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living...
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
