CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I talked this morning about anxiousness and unrest…
Twenty-one years ago today, the spaceflight Expedition 1 arrived at the International Space Station. Planned for 136 days, the three-man mission was the first long-duration stay onboard. It was also the beginning of a historic feat – one that continues through today. From November 2, 2000, there has been a continuous human presence on the ISS. Mankind has now lived in space for twenty-one years without interruption – that is extraordinary!
Imagine what it would be like to live aboard a habitable satellite in low Earth orbit (!). Your home is the size of a soccer field and travelling at a speed of roughly 5 miles per second. You orbit the earth once every 90 minutes – 16 times each day. You are 250 vertical miles above everyone and everything on earth below – incomprehensibly removed from everything here. No thing and no one can touch you.
Psalm 9:9; “The Lord is a refuge for the persecuted; a refuge in times of trouble”.
The Hebrew term translated “refuge” is sagav and means “to be high”. According to the Hebrew scholar, Chaim Bentorah, this is a very unusual word to be used in the sense of a refuge. Sagav in Hebrew paints an image of a shelter…in outer space. Bentorah says, “the meaning of sagav does not only give a picture of God surrounding us and protecting us, but also of Him lifting us up and carrying us away from all the problems and stresses that have us bound.”
I can imagine the Psalmist David, laden with all the worries of a king – war, famine, discontent, assassination, plague, enemies – looking at the stars in the evening hours and sighing, “If only I could live up there, none of these enemies could reach me”. (Wouldn’t his mind be blown to know that someday man would, indeed, live in the heavens?!?!). “Lord, be my refuge. Take me to a place that is inaccessible to all that makes me anxious.”
In our lives, we will face challenges and worries that have the potential of crushing us. At those times, perhaps we can sit back, as David did, and picture God taking us to a new height where we can commune with Him and be restored in His presence.
MOLESKIN:
Hat tip to Chaim Bentorah for the Hebrew word lesson.
So…Borg is a flat-earther?
Great discussion afterward!
