I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them.
My Lord, all those past tenses are lovely and comforting: I have sought, You have answered and delivered. I have cried out, and You have heard and saved. And then the present tense, Your angel is encamped around me and delivers me from all my foes. Is it any wonder that my face radiates Your glory, and not shame and fear?
