Our Place of Rest

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High 

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty."

 (Psalm 91:1)

In the midst of a very busy few weeks, our first weeks back after our three months of Sabbatical/Time Off - I am reminded. To look for my strength in the only secure place. 

"This I declare about the Lord: 

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; 

He is my God, and I trust Him."  

(Psalm 91:2)

Thanking God for His gifts of love this past week ...

our place of refuge and safety, always

"You who sit down in the High God's presence,

spend the night in Shaddai's shadow,

Say this: 'God, You're my refuge.

I trust in You and I'm safe.'"

(Psalm 91:1-2 MSG)
