This morning, in between being awake and asleep..
I was reminded of a line from the song 'made me glad'.
My shelter, strong tower, my very present help in times of need.
God's loving presence suddenly just wrap me like a blanket.
In that warming moment, this word 'shelter'..
It struck me.
David could have said that God was his shelter in Psalm, because he knew exactly..
The feeling of being homeless, running away from every one you could count on.
No family, no one to rely on.
Anyone could have handed him over to Saul.
He could have said that God was his strong tower because he knew..
The feeling of being hunted down by enemies from all direction.
No fortress to protect him, no place to hide.
At times he had to pass through valleys with enemies waiting to ambush him.
Yet through it all..
Through barrages of arrows and swords and spears..
Even through the valley of shadow of death..
this is what the Lord said to him.. This is what he clung to
'“Power belongs to you, God,
and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”. (Psalm62)
Every hardship, every lost, every pain, every storm that we endure..
Is a reason for us to look up to Him and sing,
He's solid rock under my feet,
breathing room for my soul,
An impregnable castle:
I'm set for life.
- Psalm 62
