Psalm 5
Lord, You hear everything. Nothing escapes
Your attention. No sound goes unheard, no sight goes unseen. In the midst of
all You have on Your plate today, please consider my situation. Please don't
let my voice be swallowed up or drowned out. You are not just the King of all
kings and God of all gods, you are my King and my God. This is the God to Whom
I lift my voice this morning. A God Who can hear me; a God far away by contrast,
but close by compassion; a God above anything, but involved in everything; a
God mighty to save and merciful to rescue.
Just as my hope of deliverance is found in
Your all seeing eye, so my assurance that justice will be given to those who
defy You is also found in the fact of Your seeing it. You know the flatterer's
heart, You see the liar's intentions. You see and You know. I can rest assured
in my safety and my enemies' destruction.
No one is safe without You.
Everyone with
You is safe.
And You know the difference.
I love this! It makes so much sense when you write it this way, and I love that phrase - 'far away by contrast but close by compassion.'
