Psalm 91 "1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. 3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. 4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. 5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. 8 Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. 9 If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, 10 no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. 11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. 12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. 13 You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! 14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. 16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”"

Hello! Wasn't that a refreshing Psalm, the bible is packed full of verses that just bring refreshment to our souls. It has been pretty busy here and I have been unable to write as I'm sure you've noticed. So many things have been coming up in my day to day that I have wanted to post about, and yet it always comes back to the truth. Not only are we reading God's truths, but are we living God's truth? Are we examples to this deep dark world? Are we doing everything we can to show Jesus when they may not know Him. Tonight as I was cuddling with Thing 1 we were reading this Psalm. It brought tears to my eyes because of how dark the world is, How life would be easier if we could rest in this hope and not waver. Yet consistently we are under attack, we are in spiritual warfare with everyone. Even in area's of our lives we think our safe, the only safety is in Christ alone.

" And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

I know that life can try to overwhelm, never think for one second God has forgotten you because He hasn't. He knows your name, He hears you!

"But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears."Psalm 18:6
This is a rather short update, just know I will try and spare a moment soon. Praying for you all. S.
