Psalm 124

Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped.

How often do we escape without noticing?

Just before being caught? Without recognizing the danger?

I have known a few close-calls. With a second's difference I might have been devoured. But a second the other way and I might not have seen any danger at all.

God of love help me be aware of your presence in every context.

May every sense I have be alive to your creation and intention.

Psalm 124
