It is a rainy day in the Northwestern part of Washington....Non stop rain...
I had this whole week planned out...my plans were written down...every day had a plan...but it really isn't working out! I am suppose to be out running errands right now, checking things off my list....but Jack is sound asleep in my room, home from school...and my plans have changed. At first I got a little annoyed that yesterday and today my day did not go as planned. But right now I am just trying to surrender it to the Lord and ask Him to direct my day instead. It is hard when we want to be in "control" of the structure of our day. I believe God is showing me how to be flexible and open to change. I have so much I need to get done. Maybe I am panicking about not being prepared for speaking on Sunday...and I wanted quiet time to pray and reflect...and I am not getting that time...so right now I just surrender my day and my feelings to you knowing you are in control...and I don't have to worry or fret because you are my refuge, shelter, adn protector! Amen
I was reading Psalm 91 this weekend. God led me there as I was praying for someone. But I wanted to share part of it because it just encouraged me so much.
v2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
v4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
v11 He will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
Just meditate on those words today...refuge...safety...shelter...armor...protection...That is who God is for us. And verse 11 just made my heart flitter flatter..."He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go." All day long his angels protect me...no matter where I am...no matter what mood I am in...no matter who upset I am that MY plans are not working out...in my joy and in my time of worship...we are protected and watched out for. How utterly amazing is that?
Have a great day knowing your are "covered with his feathers".
Love ya...Teresa
Let the lists go. I know it's hard sometimes. Just imagine what He could be keeping you safe from today by keeping you home, we never know! Thank you for the picture of protection today!!!

ReplyDeleteJust finished getting caught up on your entire blog...
You are precious.
Thank you for sharing your testimony. What a blessing you will be to countless others who have walked in your shoes.
God has walked, hand-in-hand, with you through so much, He will certainly walk hand-in-hand with you and stand next to you on that podium Sunday. After all, its your story, but His Glory.
I'm praying for you....and I'm praising God in advance for what He will accomplish through you on Sunday!
