Day 14, Psalm 14
Amidst the range of emotions, hope underlies them all. The wicked may THINK that God does not care, that all of humanity is corrupt, but that is not true. Human beings CAN do wonderful and amazing, selfless work. And they can violent and terrible. Our tradition reminds us that we are not stuck in the worst moment’s of our lives, but can do better.
Day 13, Psalm 13
There is a psalm for every moment. Sometimes we feel so incredibly alone. We may imagine that state of loneliness is immutable. Yet, in crying out, in searching for connection, we discover that possibilities abound. So in the time when I feel brokenhearted, I will sing to God, who has been good to me.
What song will you sing today?
Day 12, Psalm 12
Our choices matter. Our actions matter. Anyone can say anything they wish, but people of integrity live their words. The psalmist cries out about deceitfulness. It was not written in 2026 but millennia ago. Let us emulate our Creator and ACT justly and with compassion.
What small act of compassion can I do today?
Day 10, Psalm 10
I love the range of emotions in the Psalms. From joy and triumph, to lament and frustration all human feelings are reflected. How can God’s Creation be ruled by evil people? How can the wicked torment the less fortunate? Their leadership is temporary. Goodness and Godliness will triumph.
How can we help reveal that goodness?
Day 9, Psalm 9
A Godly world is a just world. Evil is destroyed. Poverty is eradicated. Hatred is erased. Praise and possibility overlap here. Where do we see goodness, bounty and blessing today?
Who are the helpers? Are you?
