Wait on God

Psalm 88 has taken me to the fair lately, I have found myself asking the question, “How or why in the wide world did that get in there? Did it slip past God in some way? Its Written by a guy called Heman who prays and prays and prays and no answer comes. He is deserted and despondent, no strong arm of the Lord bared to help him and no light to illuminate his way. There is not one word of praise, thanksgiving or hope in the Psalm. At the end it is not Gods unfailing love and mercy that prevails but darkness. The Hebrew word for darkness here is ‘mahshak’ referring to the dark place of the grave where all hopes, faith and dreams have been buried. It is a place where we will all come to in our lives, and even though Heman feels God has turned His back on him he won’t turn his back on God. Walter Brueggemann writes in his book, “The message of the Psalms”. “Psalm 88 shows us what the cross is about: Faithfulness in scenes of complete abandonment”.
I don’t know when your dark night will come or how long it will last when it does. I have no formula to get you through it or 7 steps of action all beginning with the same letter, no proven techniques. Darkness has a way of stripping you of formulas, steps and techniques and chucking them into blackness. I guess the only thing to do is WAIT ON GOD
