Happy Monday! This is the beginning of my second, and final, week of Suumer School with the Native Ministries Consortium (NMC) at Vancouver School of Theology (NMC). Where the journey takes me from here is yet to be seen, but one thing is for sure; God is leading the way. I honestly feel as though a plan has been made for me, and it is God who is making it.
It feels good to know God is in charge. It feels good to know that God is watching me and keeping me safe. It feels good to know that God is in me, around me, beside me, in front of me, and behind me. And, if the words in Psalm 89:20-37 have a special meaning for King David, then I have to know that those same words are for me.
The Psalm reminds us that when God makes a promise, God doesn't take it lightly. The images of God's hand never leaving David and God's steadfast love always being there for David really resonate with me. You see, for me God is a love that, once promised, can never be shaken, no matter what. That realization brings me comfort as well as courage in knowing my God will always and forever be the one who stands beside me.
So, as I go through this week writing papers and finalizing projects I will keep in my mind that the promises made for David in today's Psalm are the same promises made for me. What a comfort that is.
