Today's reading is Psalms 28-32
Psalms 28
What are we without God?
We are little more than people waiting to die.
The psalmist starts his pray for help with the acknowledgment that without God answering they are no better than those who are waiting to die. This is true. We are all going to die, no matter how young, how rich, how powerful, we are all going to die. If that is all there is then life can be very pointless. The Psalmist says that without God answering then that is all their life is, waiting to die.
However, with God, there is so much more. Yes, we may die and we may die in a way many consider worthless or a waste, but if God is our Lord then we have hope. Hope in this life and in the next.
Yes without God it's hopeless, but we aren't without God. So we can rejoice and praise the Lord.
