Safety in His Presence



"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." - Psalms 91:1-7

Dear Friends,

In the presence of the Lord there is safety.  Today in worship service I listened to the music that helped to usher in the presence of the Lord. "Pass me not O Gentle Savior, hear my humble cry." The harmony of instruments and voices combined with prayer joined in agreement. This  created that place of sanctuary allowing us to rest under the shadow of the Almighty.  The world was shut out as we focused on the Lord, thanking Him for His goodness and laying our petitions at His feet.  

Let us boldy proclaim that the Lord is our refuge. He is our fortress and our God,  In Him we will trust.  Only the Lord can protect us from hurt, harm and danger.  The Lord of the Psalmist is the Lord of the right now.  We need not be afraid of the terror by day or night.  We don't have to fear pestilence that lurks in the darkness or the destruction that appears boldly in the daylight. Our God in in control.

Dwell in safety.  Have faith in knowing that their is sanctuary in the shadow of His wings.  We can work strong.  We can march forward in the power of the Lord.  We can face the week ahead. He will give us each day our daily bread.  

Hallelujah! Rest in the presence of the Lord.  

"God is already here.  Can't you feel His presence? He is already here.  All you have to do is open up your heart. For He is already here."  

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
