Phone 22 Sep 2018
We all know what a Phone is. A device to communicate. Originally in Greek and Latin phone
means: voice, sound.
Phone is nowadays a shortcut for telephone. That was/is an electrical system to reproduce sound over a long distance.
Hear the sound of my prayer
Psalm 28 holds this text. David complains to God. And he asks God perhaps: do not take my words too serious, but hear my pain.
David had phoned to God and had connected to God's thoughts. Words however have power. And we need safe places to express what we struggle with.
My prayer today is for safe places to phone (voice, sound) out our pain.
In vs 4 David asks God Repay them - some annoying people - as their deeds deserve.
In vs 6. David meets Jahweh: Blessed be Yahweh.
and he calms down.
In vs 9 he ends: Save your people (the ones he was annoyed with a while ago), bless your inheritance,
shepherd them and carry them forever!
Communication is more than words
