When I read this Psalm, which is my favorite, I always get pumped up. I understand the Psalmist's words here -- with God, we can jump over walls and run against impossible odds. We're so excited about who God is and what God is doing that it energizes our very souls. God is perfect and true, and God opts to be for us. God uses God's power and God's word to pave a path forward for us through opposition and through death. There was a dead end, but God brought life, and it's all because God is pure love and grace. None of it is deserved, and all of it is gift.
May we find our refuge in God, day after day after day, and let that powerful love be a shield around our weary and embattled souls.
