Faith in the midst of turmoil

This short psalm of David is a calm restatement of faith in the midst of turmoil. Interwoven with the tranquil, God-centred meditations are enemies, oppressors, and false witnesses.



It is three days until Good Friday. We are retracing the events that led to Jesus’ death and resurrection, and Jesus is soon to be arrested. As he prayed in Gethsemane “take this cup from me”, and as he was seized and brought before Pontius Pilate, maybe Jesus sought refuge of this psalm.


Lord, help me to keep your peace in my heart, to seek your face, and to follow your path. Amen.
