I especially like verse 4. Whether I read it in the New International Version (NIV) or the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible it is equally lovely:
"He shall cover them with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler." KJV
OR
"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; ..." NIV
How can we not picture God as a big Comforter full of down that we can find rest under?
There is so much about God and heaven that we are simply unable to comprehend while we still live on earth and in these finite bodies, but He shows and explains to us as much as we can understand.
Here comes another Sabbath, direct from the hands of God. Do yourself a favour and accept this, not just as an "order" or "commandment" from the Almighty, but as one of His many gifts to His children.
Thank you, Lord, for caring more about me than I even care about myself.
Love Laura-Lee
