Bible in a Year:
I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.
It’s while Monk and Harold are both panicking that the epiphany comes, abruptly interrupting Monk’s angst. “I think we’ve been looking at this the wrong way,” he tells Harold. “This trunk, these walls . . . they’re not closing in on us . . . they’re protecting us, really. They’re keeping the bad stuff out . . . germs, and snakes, and harmonicas.” Eyes widening, Harold sees what he means and whispers in wonder, “This trunk is our friend.”
In Psalm 63, it’s almost as if David has a similar epiphany. Despite being in a “dry and parched land,” when David remembers God’s power, glory, and love (vv. 1–3), it’s as if the desert transforms into a place of God’s care and protection. Like a baby bird hiding in the shelter of a mother’s wings, David finds that when he clings to God, even in that barren place, he can feast “as with the richest of foods” (v. 5), finding nourishment and strength in a love that “is better than life” (v. 3).
Reflect & Pray
When have you experienced God’s care for you while you were in a difficult place? In what current struggles might you learn to “sing in the shadow of [God’s] wings”?
Loving Creator, Sustainer, and Nourisher, thank You for the miraculous way Your love seeps into my heart in even the most difficult places, transforming them into the shelter of Your wings.
Evening, Kathy! Great reminder of our WWI heroes!
  Born at Sabenes, Austria, on May 1, 1888, and March 19, 1956, Major Cukela died at the U.S. Naval Hospital, Bethesda, Maryland. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. He is a double recipient of the Medal of Honor, one by the Army and one by the Navy for the same action in World War I. |
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
He is the kind of legal immigrant we so desperately need today to show the world what a US soldier/military person can and will do to defend freedom.
How's everyone doing this morning?
