My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Psalm 31:15 · , KJV
David, hunted and pressed, makes a quiet declaration: my times are in thy hand. Not in his enemies' hands, not in fate's, not even in his own — in God's.
Your times: the season you are in, its length, what it touches. It is possible to spend a whole life trying to hold your own times, whitening your knuckles on what was never carryable.
Say it over this day: my times are in thy hand. It will not empty the calendar, but it will change whose grip you trust.
