God of today, make the life challenges and opportunities of this dear reader shine and be bright for all to see; in Christ Jesus I pray, amen.
Our text for today is from the Psalmist who wrote in Psalms 91: 1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, 2 will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust." 3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; 4 he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day, 6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday. 14 Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. 15 When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them. 16 With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation.
The Psalmist was a person of great faith. His was a living faith which was daily tested and proven true. He saw God at work in all things and thus he was able to show us how he saw God. God was a shelter, whose shadow we can rely on. In his and our prayers to God we can say as the Psalmist, "I trust You!" Nothing that can come our way as a potential harm can sway us off course, no traps nor snares of our enemies nor any deadly illnesses or disease. God will cover us as a powerful fowl covers its offspring. Ours is a faith of deliverance, of rescue, satisfaction, and salvation.
What will you do about it?
PRAYER: Thank You, loving God, for all You share. Let me take full advantage of all things so that Your light may shine in me for others to see. Help me during dark moments to see Your fullness and not be distracted. I ask this in Christ Jesus' precious and powerful name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
