Love Text: Dt. 33:12
I had a good friend stop by the other day and ask me if I had ever seen this text before - Dt. 33:12 "About Benjamin he said, Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders." I said yes I had, but I hadn't seen it in a while. I had been originally drawn to it because it was Moses' blessing to the tribe of Benjamin which is the name of our youngest and fifth child. So today I am listening to these words from the Lord's heart to mine and praying that you, the reader, and my son Benjamin would enjoy and embrace being the "beloved of the Lord." About you Mark I say, Oh my beloved, my beloved, the beloved of the Lord, rest secure in Me for I shield you all day long. You are the one I love so rest, rest between my shoulders." Father, I am overwhelmed by your love and the affectionate name by which you call me. To be "your beloved" is so inexpressably wonderful, a priceless gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for reminding me that you are always with me, always shielding me against the enemies attacks so that my faith does not fail. Lord, remembering who I am to you and who you are on my behalf, I will indeed rest secure between your shoulders. I love you Lord.

Great post. I never noticed that God calls us to sit on his shoulders... what beautiful imagery. I love when Scripture offers this, as opposed to a pastor's word picture that gives visuals to the Word. The latter isn't always bad, but the former is always preferable. Read some of your other posts and love the conversational prayer you so honestly express in your struggles. Thanks for giving us a snapshot at your prayer life!
