I always kinda enjoy the opening canticle on Wednesday at evening prayer…by Wednesday I am usually a bit tired and sometimes frazzled…that evening before the day before your day off feeling….and then we get “The Lord is my crag, my fortress and my deliverer.”
I actually don’t like caves very much but I do like the comfort of curling up in a safe and comfortable space. That is what this little verse reminds me of week by week, the sheer comfort of existing with and in God, and the enormous privilege of that place.
Not a simple panacea for all ills, but a reality check after rushing around all day that our true home, our most real place of existence is often found in small, quiet spaces.
