DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfil all your plans. May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners. May the Lord fulfil all your petitions. (Psalm 20: 4-5)

When we find and follow the path intended by God our journey may not be any easier, but we consistently move toward our ultimate goal.

Instead of recurring dead-ends and false-starts we make progress. We make progress in weaving wholeness into our own lives and the lives of those around us.

On this path our desires move closer and closer to the designs of God. Our plans become more and more coherent with the intentions of God.

In achieving wholeness we may claim victory or yeshu'ah: deliverence, salvation, liberation.

The victory of God is not so much about overcoming others as it is about finding our true selves.
