Morning Meditations

from my morning liturgy…

He stretched out his hands on the cross,
that he might embrace the ends of the world;
for this Golgotha is the very center of the earth.

~ from Cyril of Jerusalem (313-386 A.D.)

You ascended to the heights, taking away captives;
you received gifts from people,
even from the rebellious,
so that Yahweh God might dwell there.

Blessed be Yahweh!
Day after day he bears our burdens;
God is our salvation.

Selah

~ Psalm 68:18-19, by King David of Jerusalem, believed to be sung when the ark was moved to Jerusalem, written sometime around 1045 B.C.
