Re:Verse passage – Psalm 113:1-9 (day six)
Psalm 113 lifts our eyes to a God whose glory (kavod) is His weighty, reality-defining presence. A black hole possesses such immense mass that it bends space, time, and light around itself. In a similar way, the glory of God bends everything around it. When we encounter Him, we don’t simply observe; all of who we are is reshaped by the immense gravity of his glory.
Western culture would lead us to believe that there is nothing to behold beyond ourselves; that we are the architects of our own lives. But God’s glory reintroduces transcendence. It invites us to “stay enchanted,” to seek, see, and receive the weight of His presence, a reality greater than ourselves.
It is the confession of John the Apostle: “We beheld his glory.”
And when we do, everything begins to bend toward Him.
