Psalm 91:1-8

Psalm 91:1-8
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

  When something is always present, you begin to adjust for its presence, getting used to the reality of its constant nearness.  You simply get used to living like that.  For example, if you won $14 billion tomorrow, you'd be in awe and wonder for the first year or so, but after that you'd simply adapt and act like that's the way you always lived, and it would seem normal.  Pretty soon, you'd take it for granted, and you might forget the thrill of the gift.
  In the same way, when we live in the shadow of the Almighty, our eyes adapt and we start to take the presence of God for granted.  We lose our sense of wonder at the idea that God is our refuge and strength who will deliver us from the talons of those that might threaten us.  The arrow that seeks to destroy our heart?  We need not fear it because of the power of God, but if we lose our wonder, we begin to expect God to always be there at our beck and call.
  So may we recover a sense of wonder, and may we worship at the incredible gift God gives us.

May you be in awe of God's love and protection
