The Lord is on about relationship
- a growing, breathing, living, kind of thing -
not mechanistic, his relations pip
the static kind, for his have life that sings.

Well God's relations are his own children
(and not the maths relations "A+B"),
and they are understood through history when
their interchanges are told in stor-y!

So when you wandered desert-side for years
while looking for a good place where you'd live,
half-starved and parched with thirst, on brink of tears,
your lives exhausted, not quite exhaust-ive!

Then, in your desperation you relate
to God, & he gets to you just in time; 
he puts your feet on roads that take you straight
to a good place to live. You call God "Mine",

"My Father and my God", & now you thank 
this God - his marvelous love, and provision
are better than when you trust in a bank:
his mercy gives both hearing and vision.

He pours great draughts of water down parched throats; 
the starved and hungry get more than enough.
I'll tell you where we got these jumpers, coats..
and stories of his help when things were rough.. .

Of course we felt quite hungry & thirsty -
that's not a problem, s'far as I can tell,
& other times were dark, our skins bursting...
What an adventure! - He does all things well!

The Lord satisfies the thirsty, and fills the hungry soul with good things. Psalm 107:9 (PM Version)

Some of you wandered for years in the desert, looking but not finding a good place to live, Half-starved and parched with thirst, staggering and stumbling, on the brink of exhaustion. Then, in your desperate condition, you called out to God . He got you out in the nick of time; He put your feet on a wonderful road that took you straight to a good place to live. So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves. He poured great draughts of water down parched throats; the starved and hungry got plenty to eat.  Psalm 107:4‭-‬9 MSG

Jesus responded, “Who do you think are my mother and brothers?” Looking around, taking in everyone seated around him, he said, “Right here, right in front of you—my mother and my brothers. Obedience is thicker than blood. The person who obeys God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
