Psalm 60 Seeing Hard Things

Psalm 60: 3

You (God) have made Your people see hard things-

You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger.

As I watch-

As I look-

Sometimes I see, yet……….

Still I don’t see.

Sometimes it takes hard things-

Difficult things-

Painful things-

Things that stagger me-

Things that knock me on my butt-

To get me to look at things……………

A different way.

Psalm 60:4

For those who fear You (God)-

You have raised a banner

To be unfurled against the bow.

Song of Solomon 2:4

He brought me to the banqueting house,
    and His banner over me was love.

Look-

Can you see it yet?

His banner…….

He wants you to see His banner……..

It’s there- Up high-

It looks like……….

A man on a cross-

It looks like……….

Love.

Father-

Do what You need to do-

So that I might see-

And so be changed.

Amen
