Today’s meditation is Psalm 42, verses 6-11. “May the Lord show his constant love during the day, so that I may have a song at night…” I love that phrase. When sorrow flows and we are overwhelmed by chaos, it is in the night that our fears seem to raise the questions we’ve suppressed during the day. Can we sing in the night? Can we turn the shadows of darkness into rays of hope and remember to thank God, to praise Him for His constant unfailing love? Those words, are the key – constant and un-failing. A love for us that can’t be washed away by chaos, that can’t be erased by how I feel in the moment. I will put my hope in God. Nothing and no one else.
