Suddenly, God, your light floods my path,
God drives out the darkness.
I smash the bands of marauders, I vault the high fences.
What a God!
His road stretches straight and smooth.
Every God-direction is road-tested.
Everyone who runs toward him
Makes it.
~2 Samuel 22:29-31 (MSG)
Still running,
Sandy

Wow! Enjoyed this updated translation of David’s song of deliverance. It is striking when put into modern day images.
Have a blessed weekend.

I love how the Message gives us new ways to think…

Hi Sandra! Happy New Year! Have you ever heard Alvin Slaughter’s reading of that passage from The Message? It’s at the end of his recording of Hillsong’s “Run To You.” Just beautiful. Check it out on YouTube when you get a moment.
Sandra Heska King says
That’s awesome, Alison. I hadn’t heard it. Thank you!
I’ll embed it above.

‘Everyone who runs towards him, makes it.’
What a comforting word.
‘Still running.’
What an encouraging word.
Thank you for comfort and encouragement this early Sunday morning. I needed both.
