Psalm 40:1-11

Epiphany 2 – Year A

Psalm 40:1-11

I waited patiently.
     through desolation
      through new songs
     through multiplications of same
     through revelation
I signed on
     with delight
     with energetic witness
transformed in mercy, steadfast love, and faithfulness

With this summary in mind we revisit John the Baptizer, Isaiah, and our own life. We revere again the unknowns in our spiritual heritage, whose names never made the cut, but who have added their transformational presence alongside that of Andrew to Simon (aka Peter) to the latest one through whom we have been called again.

We see the downs and the ups through which we have clarified the meaning and joy of life. We affirm all the different covenants so far made. We look forward to additional mercy.

Much has been revealed to us and we are now revealing even more than we know.
