Psalm 54

Psalms in the world

Psalms in the world ... Psalm 54 Today I was led to travel to "Church Slough" which is just a little north of Hwy 208 on N Somers Road. A slough is defined as a side channel or inlet that is only sporadically filled with water. It is also the same spelling for the word that means something that can be shed or removed. The Psalmist that wrote this Psalm didn't have either of those things in mind when he wrote these words. The words describe a level of dependence upon God's grace that we don't see so much any more. I don't know about wanting God to "destroy" my enemies but I do know that I would do well to depend upon God's wisdom and activity in my life as much as this Psalmist depends upon those things and more. May you be inspired by the beauty of this slough to embrace all that God has in store for you and I will strive to do the same.
