2 I
declare that your steadfast love is established forever; your
faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.
As
a singer, I look for the passages that refer to music in scripture
and this one resonates (a singing activity) with me.
I
have made a number of life changes over this past summer. I have
returned to my home of West Virginia after 20 years away. The state
is different with both improvements (some increased educational
opportunity and some economic benefits) and tragedies (mountain top
removal, strip mining, the opioid epidemic).
I
am here to be steadfast, to be true to the values I have held dear,
to stand with other members of my community reclaiming the goodness
of the neighborhood, the obligation to steward the earth well, and
the responsibility to compassionately care for each other. It
requires God because I am surely not enough.
And
I need not be.
I
can just share the Psalmist.
And
be the Psalmist.
I
declare steadfastness of love and enduring faithfulness for all from
age to age! Alleluia! Amen!
