For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer (Psalm 32:4).
Everybody talks about the fever heat of summer.
But nobody talks about the heavy hand of God anymore.
Isn’t it backwards when the only people who relate the fever heat of summer to a lifestyle or relationship are scientists and politicians?
Meanwhile in Zion, we’re holding back. Hiding. Hoping tomorrow brings a break in the action.
We’re withering. Wasting. Weary. Weak.
And Heaven weeps, waiting to heal and bring happiness to the heart of the forgiven.
