Safe And Protected

DSC_3301
Have the past few days taken you to wearisome places and places of unsettled unrest? Tight corners, time pressures, broken moments and frustrations laced with disappointment and pained experience? The Psalmist knew of a safe place to hide away from it all ~ even just for a few minutes of reprieve! That highest place that one can go for protection ~ into the shelter of the Host High God to rest in the shadow of the Almighty. It’s here where we can regain strength for the next round of life. The God who knows all knows how weary it all can be for our humanity and yes, He knows just how much we can take and doles out just enough of His divine, sustaining grace to get us through.

In the shelter of the Most High God! What a magnificent, glorious place of refuge. It’s only here in His shadow, under His wing that we will find that protection from the enemy’s snares. It’s only nestled close to Him that we find divine peace and much needed rest that the worries of the day rob from us. He alone is our salvation and in Him, we need not fear the terror of the day or the pestilence of the night. Oh but life is so heavy and we can get so weary can’t we? Yet ~ He is so faithful to carry us through and by His grace He will protect, He will deliver, He will satisfy and He will command His angels to guard us in all our ways. Beautiful soul, It doesn’t get any better than this. “In the shelter of the Most High,” .. What an absolutely, exquisite, astounding, awesome place to hang out!!!!

Psalm 91:1

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Have a nice day animated rose

When The Way Is Long

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

So when the way is long and unending and the night lasts oh ‘ so forever ‘ ~ to throw in the towel seems awfully tempting doesn’t it? To run and forget it all just seems so much easier than dealing with the ‘stuff’ on your plate. You can run to the farthest room ~ store or the farthest park on the planet, but you know that your night will follow you! It will even beat you there and conveniently hang the welcome sign just to make sure you feel at home with your troubles. 😦

So ~ I guess running isn’t going to do it for us. I guess when the night goes on forever, we have to face whatever it is that makes it so dark, so alone and so empty. Perhaps it’s jealousy that gnaws, fears that stalk, worry and anxiety that tear you up emotionally, perhaps prayers that go unanswered ~ these all need to find peace in the dark nights and our lonely, but oh so sweet and beautiful souls need to catch a glorious vision of a God who made us and yes, a God who really does care and is in full-out control, even when it seems like He’s not. He’s promised never to leave or forsake His own and because He was faithful yesterday, we can trust Him today for that. Are you trusting through the dark ~ the long night ~ the unending unanswered prayer? Don’t fight and don’t run but simply stand still and see the salvation of our Lord.

Exodus 14: 13
“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.”

Deuteronomy 31:6
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Boldness In The Face Of Fear

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

In the spiritual realm a spiritual warfare is never won by cowards who hide behind fear, hurt and disappointment, or run from problems; all sure – fire ways of the enemy’s win in a spiritual battle. He wins if He can knock the Sword (The Word) out of your hand, and set you off on a “YouTurn” of running to retreat to safety! Surely in running and hiding, thoughts are on “Me, Myself and I” as we play right into the enemy’s hand! Selfish thinking is always a win/win for him and a lose/lose for us.

Be strong! Be bold and do right, even when faced with discouragement or fear. Face the giant before you! Stand up to it!! Speak God’s word over it and watch it crumble at your feet! Move on! Stand firm! Stay in God’s Word! Ask for divine direction and listen for divine solutions.

“The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.”
Proverbs 28:1

David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.”
1 Samuel 17: 45

Let’s Go To The Other Side

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

So if you feel defeated and your problem seems insurmountable, tell it how big your God is and leave it with Him!  Trust Him through it regardless of your feelings and what you see. Remember the enemy knows where he can break through and attack!  He’ll catch you when you’re not looking ~ not alert!   Don’t forget that God’s hand controls the universe and your little world. His power is greater!   His victory is sure!   His grace sweet and His love unconditional.   He’s got your problem!   He’s got your back!   He’s got you covered so if you doubt His skilled mastermind and sovereignty ~ don’t!   He’s working behind the scenes of your trial in ways that you could never comprehend.   He will bring you through!   He will get you to the other side!

1 John 4: 4
“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”

Luke 8:22
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out.” …we know the rest…We know about the storm that came up, and their fear and how Christ spoke peace into the eye of it and calmed the wind and the waves. That’s what He does. I love how He does it!

♥♥♥ HIS music is in my HEART!!! I will Praise you Lord! ♥♥♥
