Lectionary Reflection
Year C, Proper 24
Revised Common Lectionary (Semi-Continuous Track)
Psalm
|
Quomodo dilexi!
97 Oh,
how I love your law! *
all the day long it is in my mind.
98 Your commandment
has made me wiser than my enemies, *
and it is always with me.
99 I have more
understanding than all my teachers, *
for your decrees are my study.
100 I am wiser
than the elders, *
because I observe your commandments.
101 I restrain
my feet from every evil way, *
that I may keep your word.
102 I do not shrink
from your judgments, *
because you yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are
your words to my taste! *
they are sweeter than honey to my mouth.
104 Through your
commandments I gain understanding; *
therefore I hate every lying way.

Reflection on Psalm
119: 97-104
by
the Rev Margaret
W. Thomas
The psalmist speaks of judgment.
Surely there are many observers who warn of impending loss of
land sea and air quality. Wendell Berry, John Cobb, Bill McKibbon,
Sallie Mc Fague and others continually speak to us of gaining
the wisdom and courage we need in order to effect change. These
writers and theologians urge us to recognize the dangers. The
Rev. Sally Bingham is another activist who courageously points
toward reclamation of the air. Honey Bees are scarce lately.
What is killing them. Where will we have the sweet fruits of
harvest?
