Well it has been a little while since I have written and I have definitely missed my daily blogging. Just had a lot going on and God was really dealing with me about some things so while I have been spending time in the Word and with God it has just been more of a personal journey over the last couple of weeks.
During this time God has continued to send me back to Psalm 91. This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible simply because it reminds me of who I belong to. You know so many times we allow fear and confusion into our lives, but God has reminded me that fear and confusion has no place in the life of a child of God. If we find it there it is because we allowed it to come in. I saw a quote the other day that said ‘if you’re not happy in times of trouble then you will never be happy because there will always be some kind of trouble’. I have pondered upon that for many days now and isn’t it so true. As Christians we will never live a perfect life and everything will not go our way, but because we are Christians we know that we have something greater for us than what we experience during this life. We will never have peace in this world, but we have peace in knowing that Jesus Christ is our Savior, our Comforter, and our Guide. As Christians we have the benefit of experiencing that ‘peace that goes beyond understanding’ in every situation that we may have to face. So join me in celebrating that peace that God so graciously gives you and I----so excited about God and how he is working in my life, I pray that I can live up to the calling that he has placed on my life! With every question that I ask, I continue to find that God is my answer---He is my answer to all that I do and I thank him with everything in me for reminding me of that! I know I belong to God and that is all I need to know!
Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I will trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling---even the Lord, who is my refuge---then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him an show him my salvation.”
