Today I had a one on one meeting with a person 3 levels higher than me in the organization. He asked what could be done better and I spoke about managing people, not projects, process and resources. As usual, with these psalms of persecution, I couldn't really relate. But while I was reading this psalm this morning with my meeting on the brain, a very odd thought crossed my mind; God is the ultimate manager of people. He both allows us to autonomous while challenging us and listening to our problems. The early church and Jewish law tried to convince everyone that God ruled by process. Do these billion things and you will find God and your eternal reward. Jesus came to challenge the Jewish law and then Martin Luther came to challenge the early church (and no, I am not equating the two).
Managers can hide behind process and it covers up real issues. God's accessibility gives people like this psalm writer freedom to ask for protection. God will battle for us when we need it and will sit in the background when we think we can do it on our own.
