It was bound to happen.
Today's Psalm (Psalm 22) could have been lifted straight out of the McLaren Book, or the Magnificat, or the Nazareth Sermon of Jesus. So my Lenten reflections and Karen's have now converged in a way that I didn't expect.
I've spent most of my time bemoaning our church's less than perfect relationships, and longing for a time when we could experience true brother/sisterhood. Karen spent most of her time on the system of oppression in our society and how the church is called to address this system.
But with today's Psalm we are both on the same (blog) page again. Here the Psalmist sings a song of praise to God, because God has heard him in his despair and rescued him. He goes on to say that all of the poor will be filled and comforted, and that generation after generation will "proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, saying that he has done it. "
So today's message is a hope and a reassurance - God is going to do it.
My question is, are we supposed to help?
