Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and the Psalm.
For a video meditation on today’s Psalm created three years ago, Tap here.
Some traditions call today “Spy Wednesday,” after the plot of Judas to betray Jesus. See in your minds eye the Lord praying this psalm, finding comfort in the prayer of King David. Today we are suspended between Jesus the King and his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, and the King on the cross, two days from now.
Imagining the trials of David, the psalm sings of the Lord’s protection when David is overwhelmed. Can you find the four metaphors that weave through this psalm? As you jot them down, begin to relate to them in your spirit. What do you find in your life that links these images with David and Jesus?
The Spirit of Jesus prays this psalm. Greater than the impact of a spy’s eyes upon you, is the loving, knowing, and protective gaze of the Lord upon your life. God is all-powerful in your circumstances. All that is apparently death-bound in you can move toward life, if you yield to the Lord.
