Psalm 91:1 (NRSV)

Verse 1You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
Devotion
“…make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of my hand.” Those who abide in the shadow of the Lord will be made to shine like the sun. Rather than a commentary on how pale one might be after too much time indoors, here is an observation on the general well-being of those who cling near to God: The nearer to God’s care that one regards oneself, the more spiritually prosperous one ends up. Think of those fortunate enough to sit at Jesus’ feet: they didn’t end up perfect, but we call them saints of God.
Prayer
Remind me to draw near, nourishing God, that I may go out in confidence, faith and loving embrace. Amen.
