All
I got is these words of encouragement from Psalm 91.
Sometimes,
in the storms of life, all we can do is just hold on to something
grounded & stable, & wait for the storms to pass.
Every
one in a while, I feel like all I ever do is stay tied to some rock,
& holding on, while the chaotic winds of life blow & buffet.
Maybe
you feel that way sometimes, too?
Read
these encouraging words with me today, & tighten that knot you
tied around your waist, & hold on to that rock.
The
storms will pass – we may be pretty beaten up – but all we got is
the Rock to hold on to.
It
ain't like there's anything or anyone else we can cling to!
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. (dan note:
it's all about trust, isn't it? It always is.)
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
fear the dangers of 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."
