Commentary on Cyber-Psalm 14
Categories: Cyber-Psalm, Faith

Cyber-Psalm 14 is out.

Yesterday, a friend shared a devotion on Psalm 103 and the “blessedness” of God. It got me thinking about God’s self-sufficiency and distance. Although it is an awesome vision of God, it leaves you feeling cut off from God. Can we see him? Touch him? Experience God?

One connection point is through other people. We are, according to the Bible, created in the image of God. So in contemplating those around us we can have an idea of the nature of God. Because of our imperfections we can only see an imperfect image of God but nevertheless it is an approximation of who he is.

I wanted to have a stanza about Jesus as the nexus of God’s completeness and our humanness. But I couldn’t make anything sound like I wasn’t preaching or doing a lecture in theology.

Maybe you’d like to add a fifth stanza on Jesus and how we see God in him.
