Affirmation of His Love

Oh, how I love our Lord!  He never leaves, never forsakes, is always ready to show us the way.  He will lead, guide, direct, comfort, exhort, and lift up our heads and take away burdens!  He is my refuge, my strength and in whom I will TRUST.  I read over Psalm 91 last night in a moment of “God, help me!” (ever get a moment like that?) and I was reading about God’s protection in the midst of danger, turmoil, and sometimes our circumstances can feel like that.  Anyway, I got to verse 4 “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.  At first I was getting these pictures, beautiful pictures of me under this absolutely huge feathers like no one could see me and they were so soft you had to feel comforted and warm.  Under these wings, I began to feel so much more protected, safe, and truly found refuge.  Then I got to the word rampart.  Didn’t know exactly what that meant so I looked it up.  Rampart:  defensive wall, protective barrier………ahhhhhhhhhh, it just fit, that’s how it is when circumstances seem to be piling up, our worries, our concerns, the heat of life………..to be under his wing of protection and the best part about this is?  It’s available for everyone who places their faith in Him, when we place our faith in His faithfulness……………………jump ahead……….Psalm 91:9 “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.  It was a gentle reminder to me that I have a choice.  IF I make Him my dwelling, put faith in Him……..THEN no harm will befall me, no disaster will come near my tent.  God doesn’t promise a world free from danger or even our circumstances, but He does promise His help whenever we face danger………………IF we make HIM our dwelling.  Lord, help me make YOU my dwelling today and always.  Show me the truth of that and what that really means in my life.  I thank you that you are my refuge, my strong tower and protection.  Blessings to everyone today and remember, GOD LOVES YOU!
