Ps. 30-34 [The Message]

Supposedly composed when he was escaping from Abimelech, David made the statement that God met him more than halfway. It’s comforting to know that when we take a step towards God, He’s right there.

I saw a FB post that said, “The journey away from God may be long, but the path back is just a step.”

I think of the Prodigal Son who made his way back to his father’s house. He was met with the unconditional love that parents are wired with. Forgiveness is much better than bitterness. Welcoming is better than aloofness. Our humble bed at home is more inviting than a cold penthouse suite.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. -Jesus, [Matt. 11: 28-30]
