A Heart on Heart - Psalm 55:22
Scripture can have the weirdest things attached to it. It gives flavor, a more meaningful twist to stale words. One of the verses that I started with on this journey, hoping that it would give meaning and find a way to your heart.
This is one of my favorite Psalms and one of the verses that showed me that scripture is beyond the text itself. Even the verse and numbers symbolize many things. First, we have the numbers 5; five represents a cup, as of the olden days and the same cup/chalice that we use for Sunday service (for the Roman Catholics out there). Cup in the olden days symbolizes covenants, a promise with God. Similar to the covenant we do weekly as a Christian, we partake in the same covenant of Jesus. The first cup precedes the first cup, which is supposed to be the cup of the Father as He is the main part of the covenant; the second is the son’s.
The number 2 is similar to half of a heart or a lifted hand. This symbolizes an alignment or the same heart to what God wants in our lives; it is like casting our hearts and knowing that God will ensure that a promise is fulfilled, and thus we could place our worries onto God. The understanding of who God is and His heart. He will never grow tired of trying to fulfill it for the people that He loves.
If you see the symbol of the numbers, it then shows a heart wrapped within a heart, as 52 looks like a heart. The same way that His heart is wrapped within ours.
