O God Most High, my enemies trample me
all day long--
my anger, hubris, selfishness, distrust--they
all fight
against
me. With Elisha I ask, where are you?
Many purposes of my heart are hidden
in darkness--bring them to light,
expose them, that I may
fulfill the purposes
you have for
me.

…my enemies
trample on me all day long,

for many fight against me.
O Most High…
2 Kings 2:14a
[Elisha] took
the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, saying, "Where
is the LORD, the God of Elijah?"
1 Cor. 4:5
Therefore do not
pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to
light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the
heart. Then each one will receive
commendation from God.

"Do not
think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to
abolish but to fulfill. …" [Jesus,
to the crowds on the mountain]
