I’ve kept the long night's watch for more than one morning and if your experience is the
same as mine you know that the coming day you wait for is always too slow to dawn. That is the
nature of waiting while one cries from the depths of sorrow or despair or guilt, or worse, shame. But
the psalmist trusts that the sins that are continually accusing us are not counted
by the Lord which is why waiting can be endured with the hope that with the
light of each new day the sins of the past are erased from God’s memory. For with
each new dawn the steadfast love of God is expressed in plenteous redemption
which means there is no limit to the depths God will go to hear and answer our
cry.
