I'm in a weird place right now. Physically and emotionally. I'm looking for refuge (comfort, peace, help, relief, protection) in new places. Ironically, I'm going through what I wrote about on Gena's page just the other day. I'm afraid (afraid?) God is removing obstructions from my view of Him. Found some great insight today and thought I'd share. Gena, especially for you, too.
Psalm 91:1
Psalm 91:1
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!" That's right—he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards. His huge outstretched arms protect you— under them you're perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm. Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day, Not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon. Even though others succumb all around, drop like flies right and left, no harm will even graze you. You'll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance, watch the wicked turn into corpses. Yes, because God's your refuge, the High God your very own home, Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door. He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go. If you stumble, they'll catch you; their job is to keep you from falling.
Psalm 118:5
"Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people."
FYI: Shaddai is generally translated "the Almighty."
