“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Ps alm 91:1

Praise be to you, O Lord, for your wonderful faithfulness—you never leave your children: you always protect, always guide and always encourage while leading us into and through the difficulties of life. I praise you that you have given your children a shelter that is both your Word and yourself—you who are:

the Most High,

the Final Authority,

the Almighty,

All Wise,

All Knowing,

All Loving God.

You, in your grace, wisdom and care, have provided us with this needed shelter in a twisted, dangerous and sin-filled world. Your commands, principles and examples show us how to live within your protection from sin, self and Satan. And you yourself spread your wings over us to keep us safe; under your feathers of grace we find protection.

Praise you for your invitation for us to come to your shelter and remain in your refuge. As we obey your Word, think Truth, listen to the Spirit and make prayer the foundation of all we do, we remain in your fortress. There we are protected from unnecessary mistakes and unneeded difficulties. We are spared the troubles of those who reject your shelter: the confusion of the wicked, the fall of the proud, the anguish of the stubborn, the foolishness of the rebels, the stumbling of the self-confident.

Help us today to dwell in the shadow of the most High, so we can rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Taking shelter under his wings
