Imprisoned

Psalm 146

5 Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
   whose hope is in the Lord their God, 
6 who made heaven and earth,
   the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith for ever; 
7   who executes justice for the oppressed;
   who gives food to the hungry. 

The Lord sets the prisoners free; 

Today I feel imprisoned by the rat-race. The to-do list form the walls of my cell. Half the dinner is in the oven cooking, the vegetables are waiting to be cleaned and dessert to be decided upon. The weather is dubious, verging on the imprudent to drive. I am here, I am not at church which is where I want to be. 

I  am glad that I turned to this psalm and can enjoy being reminded of God's presence.
