"Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in HIm, for He shields him all day long, and the one the LORD loves rests between His shoulders." Deuteronomy 33:12
What a wonderful picture- what a wonderful reality. We can find rest, our true rest between Your shoulders. You are not far off that we cannot experience You. You are not a God who is controlling the universe from far away, no! You are right here. You draw close as we draw close to You.
Your love for us is too great for my human mind to conceive, so I ask you Father that by Your Spirit You would continue to make Yourself more and more real. Your words in scripture are living and active, because You are living and active. I want to be able to grasp as Paul said, how wide, how deep, how high and how wide Your love is. Increase my capacity to see You, to receive Your love, and to pour Your love out on to others. It is in You that I move, live, and have my being.
You continue to call us deeper in You and closer to You. May I have ears like Samuel to hear you and the heart of Mary to sit at Your feet.
May our souls find rest in You, in You alone. How lovely You are! How beautifully and sweetly You love us! I'm leaning into you, depending upon You, drinking in Your love as I rest between Your shoulders.
