Today: [Psalm 70-71] Can You Hasten the Hand of God? In chapter 70 and 71 of Psalms David is facing the eventuality of old age. He is facing difficult problems with the diminished capacities of advanced years. He cries out to God that He might hasten to his defense. There are times in your life that your strength will seem weak and you don’t know that you will be able to stand. David’s example is that of humble petition and abiding faith in the love of God even in the extremity of his own weakness.
