I will give heed to the way that is blameless. Oh when wilt thou come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;
I'm finding my way down the road of right living; but how long before you show up? I'm doing the very best I can, and I'm doing it at home, where it counts.
This is a psalm about justice, and justice begins at home. It is difficult to balance treating depression with family, friends, and work. Here I am, an introvert with depression. I need to be alone to recharge. I've hit a point in my life where my energy is limited and I'm no longer able to keep plugging along without risking a relapse. So where should my energy go? Work? Relationships? This verse says home is where it counts, a definite vote for relationships. Yet I'm in a profession that requires a lot of energy, and home is more forgiving than work. Nevertheless, this verse says the scale should tip in favor of relationships.
Lord, a balanced life is so difficult to achieve. Bless my attempts at discerning your word and your will for me. Let me always remember to do the very best I can at home, where it counts. Amen.
