Psalm 13
Asking, seeking and knocking are far more
difficult than ask, seek and knock. That pesky "ing" makes it a
process and like all things in process, it can be hard to wait while wondering,
"How long is this going to take?!?!?!" It is hard to say,
"Please," more than once. It tests your commitment to the request and
your trust of the one you're asking. So David reminds himself in this moment of
what has been true in the past: "I trust in Your steadfast love." I
will not doubt it now. I will not doubt in the dark what I have seen in the
light. I will sing for all that I have already received and trust the best is
yet to come. The rule of hell is bait and switch: the best wine at the beginning
and the bad stuff once you're drunk. The rule of heaven is wait and see: the
best wine is yet to be served!
