Images of God

 Your word, O LORD, endures forever; it is firm as the heavens. Ps 119, 89

The psalmist is forever trying to find new ways to speak to and of God. God is our rock, the foundation upon which we build our homes, the ground upon whom we stand, the wall that protects us from our anyone who might harm us or distract us from God's ways.

God, David also assures us, is our fortress, the one behind whom we stand in safety, the one who is anxious for us not to be attacked, the one within whom we are safe. And God is our deliverer, the one who stands in our place to defend us and our reputation. More prosaically, God is like a limousine driver who provides a "ride" for us on our journey into mystery.

Today, pick any image of God and speak with God through the image you choose throughout the day.

Which of God's names is most attractive to you, and which draws you closer to God?
