DAY FIFTEEN

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.’”

Psalm 91:1,2

COMMENT

We are living in scary times.  Death and destruction are all around us.  Every time we open the newspaper, we read about motor accidents, burglaries, murders, and rapes that come very close to us.  How can we live without fear when no one, not even Christians, seems to be immune to these disasters?  Thank God we have His promise that He is a refuge for everyone who chooses to make Him their dwelling place.  Have you made Him the place where your mind is centred so that when bad things happen all around you, you can still be at peace?  You don’t have to live in fear no matter what happens.  Even if you are the victim of some criminal activity, you can still trust God because He promised that He can turn all your circumstances to your good.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Thank God today for the promise of His presence and protection over your life if you make Him your resting place and your refuge.  He will never abandon you or leave you alone in your time of need.
