Psalm 74(1)
Friends. We read Ps. 74:1-11 today. The darkest lament I have ever read and the first part of this Psalm is purely lamentation. It just reminded me of a recent incident happened in XiaMen, China, and a friend translated a song based on that incident. Surprisingly, the canonical psalm itself is darker. What will happen that God does not foresee. I am deeply deeply encouraged by simply reading the first half of Psalm 74. Therefore, I name this episode: the darkness at the dawn.
In the end of this episode, I asked this friend if I can share their song. They have kindly gave me the right of using it for Psalm 74. Thank to Boaz Yang. In remembrance of the role of her bride in the kingdom of the light.
