DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Name:

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.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord, and was saved from every trouble. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him. (Psalm 34: 4-8)

The Hebrew word translated above as "look" also means to give close attention, to regard, and to consider. When we look to God we can reflect the character of God. Our reflection may be dim in comparison, but it is more than sufficient.

It is now three days past the full moon. Yesterday morning the sky was clear. The moon brightened the early morning. Today the clouds are thick. But still moonlight penetrates the dark and shows the way.

The moon has no light of its own. Without the sun it is just a lump of rock. But when the moon turns its face to the sun the reflection transforms the night. When we turn to God we may also brighten a black night.

Above is a photograph of the moon from UtahSkies.
