We are not just bodies but bodies beloved.

Psalm One: revisited

In my journal I wrote this:

I will not flourish if I don't delight in the law of the Lord.

And after looking at that again. I realize I see God as caretaker in this passage. He gives us these rules to live by so that we will live well and satisfied. But, then He gives us grace and salvation because we can not follow them all completely.  He is fully there for us. He removes obstacles when we trust. We misstep and He leads us back to righteousness. God is our caretaker.

How could we not delight in that? How could I not submit my every action to that power?
So, I continue learning. And while I do that, He remains at my side, holding me firmly in His hand.
