IN THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY

Today's reading: Psalm 90-92

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty." Psalm 91:1 NLT

One needs be pretty close in proximity to someone in order to stand in their shadow.

To have the outline of their very being shading you.

So close, one might say, that every time they turn, they bump right into you.

God invites us into a walk with Him that calls for that level of closeness, intimacy, relationship.

Is that how closely you are walking with the Lord? Living with the Lord? Following after the Lord? Are you finding the rest that only comes from being in His shadow?

 THANKFUL FOR MY BIBLE

Today's reading: 2 Kings 21-25

"...We have not been doing what this scroll says we must do." 2 Kings 22:13 NLT

I'm ever so thankful for my Bible.

It directed me to the Lord as my Savior.

It brings comfort.

It gives me examples of godly living.

It instills peace.

It also tells me what I'm not doing right.

It points out where my attitude stinks. It highlights areas where I am allowing sin to squat on my heart's property. It pricks my heart when I've caved to tempting opportunities. It reminds me of what holiness looks like as I gaze into its mirror-like pages.

I'm thankful for my Bible...even and especially the pages where I am convicted!
