In the jaws of Psalm 82

Where will God pitch his tent?
It's summer in Norway, and a lot of us are taking to the woods and camping. Maicon Steuernagel starts out in the beauty of a long drawn Norwegian evening by a lake, then converses with Psalm 15 about contemplation, holiness and where we might meet the Divine Presence.

A contrast, and a silence.
On this weeks reflection, Maicon Steuernagel reflects on the artistic power of Psalm 95. It confronts us with a contrast, and a silence... a kind of striking absence. And suddenlty we find ourselves talking about the character of God and the nature of trust.
