Living in the Overlaps
“The Psalms are gifts that help us not only to think wisely about the overlaps and paradoxes of time, but to live within them, to reach out in the day of trouble and remind ourselves— and not only ourselves, but also the mysterious one whom the Psalms call “you”— of the story in which we live. Past, present, and future belong to him. We are called to live, joyfully and painfully, in the story that is both his and ours. Our times are in his hand.”
– N.T. Wright, The Case for the Psalms
