I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame, for I find my delight in your commandments, which I love.
I am rarely called to speak before kings, Lord, but You do put me before many of the lost, least and lonely. What a spectrum before me, leaders of the community to the homeless. The incarcerated and the judges who sentenced them. The guards and the probation officers, the families and victims, to friends, family and neighbors. What a panoply of individuals! And I have nothing to say, no message of hope save through the words You give me. Let my mouth never be fouled with another gospel but that it will speak Your Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ.
