Psalm 6, 12, 94

Psalm 6 always reminds me of the anguish which followed Matthew's death. How I awoke every morning to a pillow soaked in tears. Tears that had been involuntarily wept whilst I slept.

And now my bone is in agony though it might be more precise to say that my bone was in agony but the cast is giving a lot of relief. These two thoughts and Psalm 94 provoked me to wonder what God thought as he saw Jesus on the cross. His son in agony. Whilst Matthew was on the life support machine we prayed, our friends prayed, we hoped that he would come back from the dead. God knew the outcome but that did not spare Jesus the pain and agony.

God knew the outcome. He knows our outcome too.
