The middle Psalms, called Laments, help to carry us through awful seasons of doubt, apropos for the Lenten Season. This Psalm, regarding King David's capture by the Philistines, speaks to the need for trust in the midst of one's interior terror or actual threat by an enemy. It's OK to have a pity party now and then if it serves to remind us to seek Divine Presence. Elohim (translated as God) will wipe away our tears, and record whatever slander may assault us, in order for us to be embraced in Eternal Love, with the onslaught concealed by light. Occasionally appearing along mountain trails, the pink and white blooms of little Kitten Paws express the wonder of the Creator's care in the midst of opposition: wild weather, scorching solar glare, or extreme cold. Shalom ...Mother BE
So comforting to know we have nothing to fear when we walk with God. Love the Kitten Paws analogy. Thanks, Barbara. I'm following you now.
