I Lift My Eyes Unto the Hills....

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1, 2 ESV)

I have embraced the plight of a good man who is struggling against the State. As a writer, I have the opportunity to tell an audience about this struggle. The good man is in the right...clearly. The State is wrong...clearly. I am baffled by the degree to which obvious right is challenged. I am dismayed, and understand anew, the battle belongs to The Lord. What we experience on earth is only a small part of what is raging around us. Good and Evil are clashing and the whole universe shudders. Sometimes it is very easy to be discouraged, to lose heart, to know that there is no possible way that Good will win. But it does. In the end, it does. So we fall to our knees and lift our eyes to the hills, to The Lord who made heaven and earth... and wait.
If we are lucky, we have a fuzzy dog or good friend waiting with us. If not, I would advise you go be that fuzzy dog or good friend to someone else who is waiting.

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. (Psalm 27:14 NIV)
