Got my draft copies in hand and editing today. I thought I’d share a few of the reflections from the new book with you this week.
Just like I get songs stuck in my head, the rhythm and rhyme of this Psalm reflection haunts me. It’s rather Dr. Seuss-like to me. The writer of the original Psalm was growing impatient waiting on the Lord to save him. I think we have all felt that way at some point. I know I have. I know God is working, but sometimes waiting is SO hard.
Hurry Up Lord!
Hurry up Lord! Come right away
Don’t think I can manage to wait another day.
Stop those who are coming after me,
End the taunts, hear my plea.
Save me now, God of strength and might.
Do it now. I need you tonight!
“Do not rush me,” I hear you say.
Things always turn out better that way.
I calm down and sing to thee,
Knowing in you, I’ll have the victory.
