How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word. With my whole heart I seek You; let me not wander from Your commandments! I have stored up Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You.
I’m a leaky storehouse, Lord; I need to be continually working at refilling, renewal, and relearning. How else can I know the boundaries and possibilities of Your Kingdom?
Lord, those boundaries, those national borders, are another set of the evokers of the Numinous; they not only serve to tell me when I have crossed out of the Kingdom into a hostile land, but they are the evidence that You have given me for seeing You. They, in their purity, are descriptors of You. Your Word says to me, “I am here, not there. This tells You who I am.”
