I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me. Psalm 57:2
One beautiful old translation of this verse says, “He will perform the cause I hold in my hand.”
That makes it very real to me today.
The very thing “I hold in my hand” — my work today, this concern that is beyond my control, this task in which I have greatly overestimated my own abilities — this is what I may “cry out” for Him to do “for me,” with the calm assurance He will perform it.
“The wise and what they do are in God’s hands” (Eccl. 9:1).
