Sunsets, Stars, Snowfall
By Nam Hyun Kim ’21. Nam is a sophomore in Eliot House studying history and archaeology.
In the sunsets I’ve seen, the stars I’ve watched, and the snow I’ve let fall on my face, I felt peace because I felt safe. In those moments, I was safe from the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety that came with the things out of my control because God, who is infinitely good, reminded me that the goodness and beauty I saw in the world was the same goodness and beauty He sees in me.
Ezekiel 1:1
By the Yale Logos Staff.
Ezekiel 1:1 “In my thirteenth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.”
Psalm 27
By Liam Warner ’21. Liam is a junior in Adams concentrating in Classics.
Psalm 27, like many of the non-penitential psalms, gives upon first reading a very triumphant impression…The attitude strikes the reader as verging on haughty, foolishly unaware of how easy it is to lapse into sin. The only risk, it seems, is that God will withdraw His hand from us or turn us over to our enemies, from both of which we ask Him to refrain.
The Sins of the World
By Angela Eichhorst ’22. Angela is a freshman living in Canaday.
But then in these moments of confession when I had nothing to confess, what was I meant to pray? A small voice within in me cried out “Lord, I am sorry for the sins of the world.” Maybe sin is more unknown than we would believe.
Blessed Are Those Who Have Mercy
By John Daoud, MY ‘21. John is majoring in Near Eastern Studies.
“Blessed are those who have mercy
Who give to the poor and fast and pray
The Holy Spirit will fill their hearts
The Son will show them mercy on judgement day”
Fortress Three
By Aidan Stoddart ’20. Aidan is a sophomore in Eliot House concentrating in the Comparative Study of Religion.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
abides under the shadow of the Almighty
He shall say to the LORD,
“You are my refuge and my stronghold,
my God in whom I put my trust.”
(Psalm 91:1-2, NRSV)
