August 9, 2007

Good morning. We have seen very little tornado-like activity this year and now I hear that New York City may have suffered damage from one. I am not ready to jump on the global warming bandwagon just yet, but the weather has shown a tendency toward the odd the last few years. It may be that I have too little evidence and the weather is no more odd than it was in the 1930's or some other time period in history. Today, as a suggestion, you might read Psalm 6 again. It is quite short and won't take you long. However, instead of empathizing with David and his personal plea, imagine that this is a prayer of Nature. Stained by the rebellion of Man and the sin loosed on the world, Nature cries out for redemption, asking the Lord to return and save it. That change in view lent me an interesting perspective on this Psalm. I am sure that a change in view would make other Psalms have interesting new meaning as well.

God bless you this day!
