Psalm 91

I'm going through the Psalms and Ps. 91 is one of my favorites!


Just thought I'd share it with you all! Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

Children should never be soldiers

The children of Uganda have been caught in a cross-fire of a 21 year old civil war. Children are waken in the middle of the night, forced to dress and are walked at gunpoint into the African wilderness. Their parents are beaten and are forced to watch their children go... and in most cases... never to see them again. The children are raped, beaten, mutilated, and sometimes forced to kill there own families and friends. Children who are unable to keep up or are to weak to fight, are killed or left to die.

There are many sickening stories of the brutal treatment these children undergo. One young boy was told to kill his best friend, boil and drink his blood, just for the enjoyment of his kidnappers. One girl was rescued and reunited with her parents which she no longer recognized because she had been brainwashed. Many children suffer sever trauma from the cruel treatment they undergo.

We need to keep these children in our prayers. Things are being done, but without prayer all the work is in vain. We need to pray for these children to hear the gospel and be comforted by God's love, also that the Lord would send Christians to Uganda, to not only spread the Word but to encourage the brothers and sisters working over there. With the Lord's help we can make a difference, we can save lives. This is a gruesome reality... this is happening today but it can stop.

Remember, with Christ nothing is impossible!

Priest Lake Vacation!!!

We had a wonderful vacation filled with friendship and Gods splendor! I couldn't believe the wonderful creation I saw! People may say that they can't see God, but in the two short days I had in northern Idaho I saw God's words in so many ways! Personally, He showed me His power and grace. Two opposites but yet it's true! I saw magnificent mountains and deep waters but I also saw the gentle rain and peaceful waves. His paint bush communicates so much we just have to open our eyes... which we seem to find very difficult. I hope you enjoy the pictures! God Bless!"Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths"
Psalms 25:4

"What is the way to the abode of light?" Job 38:19

"I think that I shall never see,
a poem lovely as a tree.
Poems are made by fools like me,
but only God can make a tree."
Joyce Kilmer (French Poet)

"The earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters." Psalm 24:1

We saw this amazing rainbow and Psalm 19:1-3 came into my mind:

"The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Day to day pours out speech,

and night to night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech, nor are there words,

whose voice is not heard."

"The power that holds the sky's majesty wins our worship." Aeschylus
"Have you ever given orders to the morning or shown the dawn its place, that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it?" Job 38:12, 13

"Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?" Job 38:37

Ash and me! ... again :)
