UNDER COVER

 

Psalms 91:4

“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” 


Two blankets, a clothesline, and clothespins, were all we needed to make our tent.  And so we did on many summer days during my childhood. 


One day my father came home with a big box.

 In the box was a duffle bag which held an emerald green tent, silver poles and stakes. 


 I think the tent was purchased for my brothers.  But my sister and I claimed it too.

We were the only kids 

in our “row of projects,” with a real tent.   


I spent time reading, 

sharing secrets, 

and imagining there.

It was a safe haven. 

It was a place away from the world as usual.

The tent was waterproof.

 It blocked out the hot sun. 

 The emerald green tent was a shelter.


Today I am thankful to dwell in the tent of the Most High God.  

I imagine this dwelling to be red, representing the shed blood of Christ.

Under the cover of the Lord,

I am saved.

I am safe. 

I am secure.

 

Shielded by the feathers of God.

Angels of the Lord encamp all around.

Under the cover of His truth, 

I am strengthened in my soul.


I thank God for being “under” cover.


God bless.

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
