Susan Lafferty“Of all the places you’ve lived, which one is your favorite?”
It was a casual conversation and a question I’ve been asked many times. Impossible to answer.
So I said the usual: “There’s something special about each one.”
But over the next days I reflected on the significance of place in our lives. What is it that lodges a certain location in our hearts and minds?
And I began to notice place in God’s Word.
“Come and see,” the psalmist says in Psalm 66. I hear the invitation. To see the works of God. Remember His awesome acts.
And in one brief sentence, the writer speaks volumes.
“He turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through the river on foot.”
Psalm 66:6
Succinctly said. But the people know. These are two indelible markers on their journey with God.
The sea and the river. Deliverance and entering the promised land.
