Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings(Psalm 63:7).

When I read this line, I think of penguins.

I know, right?

Seriously

Penguins

You know the picture I’m talking about.   You’ve seen it on nature shows.  The baby penguin sits on his daddy’s feet, while Dad tucks his wings and his belly over the kiddo to keep him warm.

Yeah, that image.  That is why dads have bellies.

I am aware that David probably never saw a penguin, so this is most likely not the image he was going for.

It is, however, the image that I take from this Scripture.  Yes, taking Scripture out of context puts one on a slippery theological slope, but I think if David were here, he’d back me 100%.

And yes, they sing.  How could they not?

Happy Tuesday, Beloved
