A Reflection on Psalm 135

February 23, 2016 by Chris Gribble

Deafness is this world’s worst illness,
Every day God shouts out his glory,
But, history repeats over and over,
God evidence is in every part of creation,
Yet arrogance still believes its own lies,
Thinking he will overcome God’s plan for me.

My experience tells me God is working,
Human’s shaking their puny fists are losers,
They always succumb to His will,
Their angry shouting has no effect on God’s plan,
God’s magnificence is not dimmed by hate.

Arrogance seeks to create fear in my heart,
Desiring to see me fail so he feels better,
He seeks support for his outbursts of hate,
Explosions of venom stinging those close by.

Then Truth emerges from the fray,
Trust is restored by God’s comfort,
Hate is muzzled by Grace’s kind words,
Life is restored in their sweet sounds,
Drawing fresh breath after a long run,
The finish line is clear – waiting to be crossed.
