This Logos (“Word”) in this book of John dwells in unapproachable light, makes bad angels shake with fear, and chooses to speak things like stars and birds and your grandmother into existence.

This Jesus is a light for nations far off, hearts far off, families far off.

Here’s David, whose life was scored by assaults (King Saul, his son Absalom, enemies in Philistia and Edom and Moab), here’s David in a world where he was more likely to die of murder than of old age, during a lifetime of near constant threat from human hands, and his instincts were to flee to His God for refuge. He trusted Yahweh with his life, his wellbeing, his eternity.
