Of thoroughly grand proportions is Psalm 37 . I went from end to end of the electorate this week to discover that at each end of the 3hours drive across it there was great hope though "drought" invades the inbetween. This was the reading at the church on the very edge of this extreme, but that's just we all are - alone and on the edge trying to keep what He's encircled in between us under His watchful eye- just like a shepherd with his sheep . ;
I met a friend for coffee on the way across who I'd met through passions shared .We quote to each other Churchill and love "The Concert" . We both send too much time on the hustings . He is as passionate to keep a government as I am to see it removed . I wish he knew the wonder of the power in those words of the psalmist ( paradoxically ,as GKC would say , he's been a catholic missionary and I don't hold that against him . Instead he/I worked with powerful men, whose words their very trade ( local journos) , somehow were weak to tell the truth men ; weak man they were , who protesting much, lacked integrity. They were real frauds to themselves and to the world, unable to give back, it seems, the truth they held in store. How much damage they have done has yet to be revealed , for God himself can bring us back, and means us to be healed .People with power or desperate for power do terribel things . But God is in control Psalm 37 .
