Let us rise, even if lame

Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.

Psalm 24:6

Lord, you have advised us to seek you while you may be found, to call for help while you are near (Isaiah 55:6). Here I am, here we are. Weary and burdened by life, sick and beaten by men, disappointed in ourselves, and bound by our sins, distressed and hopeless. We have waited for you and trembled, only to fall again. Lord, how long? Why do you delay, Savior? Here we are, Jesus, people who seek you, who seek your face, the God of Jacob. Make your face shine upon us, even though our hip would be wrenched. Let us rise, even if lame, as long as blessed. Do not be far off, Lord Jesus. Do not let our hope fade. We expect all the good from you. For you are our God and we are your children.
