Today's reading
Genesis 2:4-3:24 — The Wound and the First Promise
God did not make man the way He made everything else. Light, sea, stars — He spoke and they were. Man He knelt down for. "And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul" (Genesis 2:7). Mud and the breath of God. You are both. You have always been both.
Psalm 130 (131 modern) — The Weaned Man
Three verses. That is the whole psalm. A fighting king's name is on it.
