Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
The psalms are not meant primarily to be sung in worship, but rather we are to sing the songs in daily life. When we are wallowing neck deep in the mire of life, we are invited to sing the songs of lament: “O Lord, have mercy.” When we are in a tough spot, but remember God’s presence, we are invited to say, “I trust you O God, you are with me.” And when we see God at work in the world, we are invited to point to God’s invisible hand and say, “Praise the Lord!”

In the face of adversity, do we see danger or opportunity? In the face of human need, do we see demand or gift? In the face of a stranger, do we see potential enemy or friend? When we recognize Jesus, we recognized his blessing and rejoiced in it and are drawn into relationship with God and humanity.
