His Wings

What a blessing. My study of the Jewish wedding ceramony has really been an enlightening, turst building, joyouos experience. As whole books have been written about tthis subject, I can't begin to discuss it all in this short blog. My favorite part is discussed in this poem. Oh, the unfathomable love of my Messiah that he would desire me whose righteousness is as filthy rags to be a part of his bride. Our courtship leading up to the Lamb's Marriage Super, is the greatest blessing in my life. To be under his wings or covered by his prayer shawl thrills me. The all powerful, all wise, loving  Master and King wants an ever deepening relationship with each of us. And our Father who so loved us that he sent his only begotten Son  does too.

Praise report: I pray daily for my brothers and sisters in difficult places like China and the Middle East. I have also ask you to pray. Glenn Beck just brought the first of what's left of the Kurdish Christians into a safe place in Slovakia to live.

HIS WINGS

There’s healing in his wings,
Kanaf in the Hebrew,
Four corners of his tallit,
Or prayer shawl,
With its tassels,
Or Tzit, tzits,
A Jewish wedding,
At the ceremonies’ end,
The groom wraps the bride,
Covers her with his tallit,
Promising to protect her,
Provide for her,
Pray for her,
For their relationship,
Which she is also doing,
For her husband,
Emotionally,
The two become one,
Minutes later,
They physically become one,
The Lamb’s marriage super,
Fulfills this word picture,
Our Messiah,
The groom wraps his bride,
In his tallit,
Promising to care for her,
As she does for him.
