What peace to know God watches over us to protect us in All Our Ways as we trust in Him. I became overwhelmed this morning as I read in Psalm 91 of God's wondrous protection and great love so I want to share it with you today from the New Living Translation. I ask that you also read this passage sometime soon and allow it to really sink into the very depths of your soul.
"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
Praise The Lord! Isn't this such a powerful passage of protection and promise? There is so much promise all through God's precious Word and as we read and learn more from His Word, it becomes alive within us, making us more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, as sons and daughters of the Most High God. Knowing He is with us in every situation day or night, and that He dispenses His angels to watch over those who put their trust in Him brings a peace beyond all measure. He loves us, His children, and desires to give us good things and His standard of good is far above anything we can ever imagine! No greater joy, no greater peace, no greater assurance can be found than under the shelter of Almighty God.

He has given each of us a new day with fresh mercies and He eagerly awaits our invitation to walk along side us and guide us in all our ways. It is In Christ that we can do ALL things, if we only believe when we ask and rest under the shadow of His wings. May you feel the peace of God's love and protection and enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
