Psalm 62

While it seems the impact of humans weighs far too heavy on this earth, the psalmist tells us that those of "low estate are but a breath, those of high estate are a delusion: in the balances they go up; they are lighter than a breath."  Let us  embrace our insignificance, and work for good, not for fear of judgement, but so love can reign. 
   
"For God alone my soul waits in silence; 
for my hope is from God. 
God alone is my rock 
and my salvation, 
my fortress; 
I shall not be shaken.  
  
Once God has spoken:
twice have I heard this: 
 
that power belongs to God, 
and steadfast love belongs to you, 
O Lord.  
  
For you repay to all 
according to their work." 
  
Psalm 62:1-2, 11-12 NRSV
