How Much Longer? ⏳

Pastor Brendan Flannagan

As we continue through this month, focusing on the cross and the resurrection… we’re reminded that there are seasons in life where the question isn’t Why? it’s... How Long?

In Psalm 6, the psalmist cries out, “But You, O Lord… how long?”

He’s calling on God… the One who is outside of time… and asking Him to step in… to act… to do something. And this is what we see throughout the psalm… that the God who is above all things… is not distant.

God is with His people.
God is near.

And the psalmist speaks out of real suffering… “I am weary with my sighing… every night I make my bed swim… I dissolve my couch with my tears.”

He’s worn out. He’s overwhelmed. And yet, as he looks to who God is… he comes to this understanding… that God is present in the suffering… that God is near… even when the question is still, how long?

And as we consider the cross and the resurrection, we’re reminded of that same truth… that God is not distant… but near.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
