Meditation on Psalm 3

Consider that we are composed of and surrounded by various energies. Energies of construction. Energies of destruction. We are those energies.

Then how is it that we are surrounded? Because we choose. We choose to make our home, our central point, in the energies of construction or in the energies of destruction. We choose for all time and we choose moment by moment.

When we make our home in the energies of construction, we are surrounded by destruction, that which wishes to destroy. When we make our home in the energies of destruction, we are surrounded by construction, that which wishes to bring to life rather than bring to death.

When we choose construction, though surrounded and seemingly in imminent peril, we can lie down and sleep without fear and then awake to face the day. The forces of construction will slap the face of the forces of destruction and break its teeth. We continue on our way embodying the energies of construction with no fear.

  1. Since reading this on Sunday, the choice of construction versus destruction has entered my mind frequently, enhancing how I view my actions. Powerful stuff, George! Thank you so much!
