Space

Eugene Peterson translates Psalm 27:1

(The Lord is my light and salvation)

*

Light. Space. Zest. That's my God.

*

And today I found myself remembering this as I was pondering my lack of "space" right now due to how busy and crazy this week is. And of course, once again, I am sure that no one else can relate to being over-busy, over-scheduled and over-everything :) . A friend once told me that busyness is actually the main opposition to the Christian Life.

*

Hmm. that's one to ponder this time of year: busyness the antithesis of the Christian Life. So perhaps "space" does have more to do with "salvation" than we would normally think. Perhaps busyness is just one more reason why we need a Savior.

*

Lord save us from our busyness.

Amen.
