#Psalmist

[forsakenbythenarrative]

i begged God, i was willing to suffer the mortifying ordeal of being seen for the wonderful experience of being known. God sent me someone to see and know me. it is horrifying; it is wonderful. you cannot return to God with your ego intact; you cannot be intimate with another person either. a friend holds my hand and tells me it's okay and i think, 'these are the literal hands of Jesus.'

i am grateful to be uncomfortable; i am grateful to bare my soul to the cold wind. i reach my hands out; i touch the world ungloved. my hands and my lips are instruments of the Divine and i can touch people with them. so i will, i will, i will.

In the Corridors of My Mind

When you look at me, what do you see? What thoughts linger in your mind? Do I matter in your world, truly? Why am I so hard to find?

Stuck inside my own small space, No one knows how deep I go, They see only what I let them face, Not the depths I dare not show.

Life feels unbearably heavy, hard, I lift others while I fall apart, Believing God will heal and guard, My fractured mind and aching heart.

I want to be what I'm called to be, But fear grips tight and won't let go, Why am I here? Do I bring you glee? Or am I just a fleeting shadow?

Why do I care so much, so deep? I wish to let this burden fly, Hurt and broken, I barely sleep, Yearning for my soul to sigh.

Can I quit, just stop the fight? Curl up, cry, and drift away, The healing journey's blinding light, Hurts more than trauma's darkest day.

A tangled mess, unworthy, lost, Love's touch feels so far and cold, Done with battles, at what cost? I want to clock out, let go, fold.

Disappear, fade, and be forgotten, Is that a wish too far to dream? To leave behind this heart so rotten, And find peace in a tranquil stream.

The Lines by James R. Coggins

I remember reading Psalm 16 many years ago, probably in the King James Version, and wondering what the phrase meant that “the lines” had fallen to the psalmist “in pleasant places” (Psalm 16:6). What lies behind this phrase is some history dating back several hundred years. When the Israelites had gained control of the Promised Land, the land was divided up among families by lot. That is, a…

Raise the Praise

Other than those who are allowed in via a permit, the Kogelberg Nature Reserve in Cape Town, South Africa, is off limits to visitors. Birdlife is prolific, wild horses live in the wetlands, and whales can be seen offshore. The area’s rich diversity of animals and over 1,800 varieties of plants flourish there. How free and liberated creation must feel in that gorgeous area. When I saw these…

Psalms 91

Lyrics by Sons of Korah He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty I will say of the Lord: "He is my refuge My God and my shield in whom I trust"

Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare And from the deadly pestilence as well He will cover over you with His feathers And there under His wings you will find peace His faithfulness will be your shield

You'll not fear the terror of the night time Nor the arrow that flies by day Nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness Nor the plague that destroys at midday A thousand may fall at your side Ten thousand right may fall at your right hand But it will not come near you, you will only see You will only observe when judgment comes

And He commands His angels concerning you To guard you wherever you may go To be with you and lift you in their hands So that you won't strike your foot against a stone

If you make the Most High your dwelling Even the Lord who is my refuge Surely no great harm will befall you No disaster will come there near your home

He commands His angels concerning you To guard you wherever you may go To be with you and lift you in their hands So that you won't strike your foot against a stone

You will tread upon the lion and the cobra And trample upon the serpent's head You will tread upon the lion and the cobra And trample upon the serpent's head

Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him I will protect him for he knows My name He will call on Me, and I will answer I will be with him always and I will honor him

With a long, long, long life I will satisfy him with long life With a long, long, long life I will show him My salvation

With a long, long, eternal life I will satisfy him with long life With a long, long, eternal life I will show him My salvation

With a long, long, long life I will satisfy him with long life

Psalms 191, NIV 1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High     will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,     my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you     from the fowler’s snare     and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers,     and under his wings you will find refuge;     his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night,     nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,     nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side,     ten thousand at your right hand,     but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes     and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”     and you make the Most High your dwelling, 10 no harm will overtake you,     no disaster will come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you     to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands,     so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;     you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;     I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;     I will be with him in trouble,     I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him     and show him my salvation.

[gayleviticus]

i read a quite interesting book in my undergrad by a Jewish scholar on how the binding of isaac is a subversion of pagan myths about sacrificing children for the prosperity of your nation, in proving quite definitively that this is something God doesnt and will never want. and he went on to talk about how by reading this story as foreshadowing of Jesus' crucifixion, Christians actually revert back to the pagan myth of blood sacrifice being skewered in the first place!

which i think is entirely true - unless we understand Jesus to be God, in which case it's fundamentally flipping the script all over again. it's no longer 'humans scramble to kill their children to appease an angry God', it's 'God is willing to be vulnerable and die for the sake of reconciling with wayward humans'. it smashes the idea we need human sacrifice to appease an angry God because that angry God does not exist; he's too busy being found in human form and dying miserably to reach out to his children. the crucifixion is not an offering to God; it's an offering by God. God is the subject, not the object. anyway that's just Reason #43784 why a robust understanding of the Trinity is good and helpful and not just abstract theology
