ELOGOS for Wednesday

Psalm 33: 20-22
Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield.
Our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

Human infants are arguably the most vulnerable creatures on the planet. The young of other species are born with far more survival instincts.  I watched a video of turtles hatching. Without any lessons, they knew how to use their flippers, find the ocean and swim away. We, however,  need help when we are born. Lots of it. We need to be protected and shielded. As we grow, we take on some tasks of security but we never completely grow out of our vulnerability.  We have to trust someone.  God gives us the best option. 
*         *         *          *         *         *           *
Indeed, let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you. Amen.
