Psalm 60:1-3
To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.
The complacency, the smug self-sufficiency, the elitism of the American church; a wall between them and the lost and hurting. Yes, they open their arms to the successful and powerful, to the rich and famous, but to the broken and weak, to the poor and unknown — blindness, a wall of separation. We have forgotten those You served and called us to serve. Where is Your church? Where is it for M? K? T? An endless list of broken, abused and hurting who only can perpetuate the broken, abused and hurting!
