“But you’ll welcome us with open arms when we run for cover to you. Let the party last all night! Stand guard over our celebration. You are famous, God , for welcoming God-seekers, for decking us out in delight.”
Psalm 5:11-12 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
What a fun and spirited paraphrasing of David’s cries of praise to God, don’t you think? And the imagery of running into God’s open arms is such a comforting one. May it be that like David, we are able to feel just as strongly about our love for God and his love for us!
