Place

“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.

Moving through

He doesn’t jump to resolve. Or rescue. The psalmist is moving through his pain and fear.

Moving through the murk, into trust.

He knows who God is. 

And cries out to Him.

Compassionate

Compassionate One

who sees and knows

the deeper side

of all that marches

through this life.

Sudden change.

Surprises.

Unexpected turns.
