Psalm 3 finds David praising God. He 'sings' God is my "shield", "glory" and the "lifter of my head". David had learned that the Kingdom of God was not realized personally through circumstance, but from the absolute reign - in his own life - of "The One" he worshipped.
As I awakened this morning I reached to my phone's playlist and listened to the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir singing the words of this Psalm - then thought of the people in Ukraine, and wondered, "how might this be so?"
There I discovered that to consider and pine for God's Kingdom, for which we are taught to pray, will always birth in us... "A Culture of Hope."
Blessings,
