Secures All That is Good!
Psalm 91:1-2
You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’
1 John 5:14
This is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
Words of Grace For Today
The greatest danger in life is fear, which drives us to instinctive responses, and schemes to secure our own lives and our own futures.
Seeking such security is a futile effort, and it always will be.
Only God can provide us such security.
What we can do is give every once of energy and life we have received in providing life abundant for other people, all other people, not just our chosen few!
Trusting that God hears our pleas, God abides in us, and we abide in the shadow of the Almighty brings us to live with a boldness that is the beginning of worshipping God, serving God, and loving all other people as God loves us.
We know where our refuge and my fortress is; God is with us, no matter what.
We can face every danger, every evil, every challenge with grace-filled hearts, breath to spare, and grateful generosity. We can be generous with all God has entrusted to us, as God is generous with us.
What a life! What an adventure!
