A Place of Peace

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; (Psalm 91:5-10, NKJV)

Complete this famous thought. "My happy place is...

Some say their happy place is the beach. Some say the mountains. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with those pleasures, there's a happy place that's even greater. The happy place of peace. You know, I recently heard a quote that really resonated with me.

"Peace isn't the absence of conflict, peace is the presence of God."

These verses tell us that nothing shall come near to frighten us. Yes, we may be in a whirlwind of confusion, but God comes to us with His sweet peace.

Ladies, do you need God's Peace today? Let me encourage you….

Call out to Him!

Father, thank You for the sweet peace you offer to us freely. Thank you Lord for allowing us to come to You and not have to go through the priest anymore. Lord we love You and we praise You. Amen.

Glenda shares: This morning during my quiet time a song came to me which speaks volumes of what Psalm 91 is all about. Please click below and listen to Gaither Music, featuring Joy Gardner sing
"We Are Standing on Holy Ground". 

                             

A Sheltered Place

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord,
"He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust."
Psalm 91: 1-2 

“

When I think of being sheltered from a storm, my mind goes to a hurricane shelter. The shelter is used to protect us from the danger the weather presents. We trust operators of the shelter to keep us safe as long as the need is there. 

 There's another shelter…. A shelter from the storms of life. We can trust the operator of this shelter—more than those who run hurricane shelters. 

We can trust God to never leave us and never let us down. 

When we feel as though we're backed into a corner so dark we can't emerge, we can take comfort that the darkness we're facing is –the Shadow of His wing. 

 So let me encourage you today—Run to the Safe Shelter. There's not a better place for you to find comfort, peace and rest. And if you're hearing about this provider of a shelter for the very first time, you can come as well. Just ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart. It's that simple! 

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NLT). 

"Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. (Rev. 3:20 NLT). 

Prayer: Father, You are our Shield, our Strong Tower, and our Refuge. Help us to run into your safe, secure Shelter. Amen.

 I love your strong statement: “When we feel as though we're backed into a corner so dark we can't emerge, we can take comfort that the darkness we're facing is –the Shadow of His wing.” 

Ladies, can you relate? Has your past or present circumstances caused you to feel you were backed into a dark corner you couldn’t escape? Did you experience the shadown and safety of His wings? 

Thought for the week: Darkness cannot hide the face of our Savior…we are being held under the Shadow of God’s Wing!

Dear Friends, its your time to leave a word of encouragement for someone who may be struggling in a dark place today.  Please leave a comment below. 

 God bless you all, 
Jamie and Glenda
