Thanks! I love what you all shared today. I’m not powering through the Bible at the moment; I’m indulging associative reading ideas. I love Psalm 119! It is David’s Mount Sinai and Mount of Beatitudes all in one. Only, these Psalms aren’t written by the fingertip of God on stone or spoken by the voice of Christ with love. And David’s physical body doesn’t climb Sinai or the Mount of Beatitudes — as his thoughts simplify and intensify from Psalm 1:1 to Psalm 119: 1, he’s actual quite still. God is capable of both: the physical climb and spiritual climb inscribed; human’s are capable of the spiritual climb if they can sit still long enough to write it; and Christ totally removes the pen and influences the auditory memory stop a physical climb. All three versions of psalm 119 are amazing appeals to the poetic mind. That says much for the story of creation because God really does endow us in His own image — capable of thought beyond ourselves and spirituality beyond ourselves. Thanks for indulging me while I’m having this mental hiccup.
