In the Midst of Lions

"Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
He will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame him who tramples on me.
God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

My soul is in the midst of lions...

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!"

-Psalm 58

Today's lions: no worse than usual. Homework, a Spanish quiz, several important phone calls, fluctuating emotions, and the prospect of two very stressful weeks after Fall Break. Put together, it all seems utterly overwhelming. But is it? No. God will send from heaven and save me. In fact, he already has.
