Jesus is the promised descendant of David, and in his incarnation, our union with God was accomplished.1 When the moment comes that we think we must do something for God to honor or even protect God, we must sit like David in the strange mystery that God has already secured a home within us. It’s from the seated place that we can best see: God is already within me. There is nothing we can do and nowhere we can go where God’s love will be removed from us. Like David, this is how God gives us courage and becomes our courage.
