Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Psa 91:2 I will say [fn] of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
Psa 91:3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
Psa 91:4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Psa 91:5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
Psa 91:6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
Psa 91:7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
Psa 91:8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
Psa 91:9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the Lord, who is my refuge-- Psa 91:10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
Psa 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
Psa 91:12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
Psa 91:13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
Psa 91:14 "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
Psa 91:15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
Psa 91:16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Today's Promise from the Bible Nahum 1:7 The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Reflection
My prayer: Lord, You are so good to Your children! You have shown us the utmost tenderness and grace as You hold us in Your mighty hand. It is such a wonderful honor to be called Your people as we take delight in Your sanctuary. Thank You for Your mercy and abounding love for us!
Sonicflood - Shelter (You Are My Refuge) lyrics.....
You will never change
You stay the same
You are my hope of glory
I will never have to be afraid
Through the course of time
And all my life
You've been my place of shelter
Here beneath your love I will remain
I will sing that,
You are my refuge
In you alone I place my trust
Here in the shadow of your wings
You are my refuge
The maker of the stars above
Still you make your home inside of me
You shelter me
Wa ooo wa ooo
You shelter me
Wa ooo wa ooo
Wa ooo wa ooo wa ooo
You are lord of all
My mind recalls
The times that you've been faithful
Now I know your love is here to stay
Through the course of time
And all my life
You've been my place of shelter
Here beneath your love I will remain

Be a Peacemaker! and Enjoy the Blessings!
I took more than 7 years of praying for Peace. HIS Peace... And each time i think i have gotten it, i find that i still need to stop and focus on Him yet again or still to keep His Peace in my life! Praise God for His Peace as i am experiencing it again! and Peace is beginning to reign in my home too! So when i read the follow verse, I thought what a blessing it IS to be a parent and teach siblings to be at Peace. The past few days have been joyful and i have experienced Harmony and Unity in my girls! Praise God for He is Good All the Time! I thank You Lord for calling me your child! Thank you for Your Patience and for training me to be a Peacemaker even through what i thought was the hardest of times! I Love You Lord and I need You Lord! Come and Blow Wind of GOD!
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." — Matthew 5:9
This is the seventh of the beatitudes: and seven was the number of perfection among the Hebrews. It may be that the Saviour placed the peacemaker the seventh upon the list because he most nearly approaches the perfect man in Christ Jesus. He who would have perfect blessedness, so far as it can be enjoyed on earth, must attain to this seventh benediction, and become a peacemaker. There is a significance also in the position of the text. The verse which precedes it speaks of the blessedness of "the pure in heart: for they shall see God." It is well to understand that we are to be "first pure, then peaceable." Our peaceableness is never to be a compact with sin, or toleration of evil. We must set our faces like flints against everything which is contrary to God and His holiness: purity being in our souls a settled matter, we can go on to peaceableness. Not less does the verse that follows seem to have been put there on purpose. However peaceable we may be in this world, yet we shall be misrepresented and misunderstood: and no marvel, for even the Prince of Peace, by His very peacefulness, brought fire upon the earth. He Himself, though He loved mankind, and did no ill, was "despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Lest, therefore, the peaceable in heart should be surprised when they meet with enemies, it is added in the following verse, "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Thus, the peacemakers are not only pronounced to be blessed, but they are compassed about with blessings. Lord, give us grace to climb to this seventh beatitude! Purify our minds that we may be "first pure, then peaceable," and fortify our souls, that our peaceableness may not lead us into cowardice and despair, when for Thy sake we are persecuted.

YOU ARE GOD ALONE
Today's Promise from the Bible 1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. Reflection
Due the majestic name of Christ, we have admittance to the glorious throne of God. For those who believe, we have been called His children and brought out of this evil world to a new life in Jesus Christ. His greatness leaves us speechless as we observe His mighty hand over all things, both on earth and in heaven. It is because of the powerful name of Christ we stand in awe of His glorious splendor.
BECAUSE I'M FORGIVEN (
There's a reason why I bring
You this simple offering
Pouring out my love to You
And though my heart cannot express
All this joy and gratefulness
Still I sing this song of love and thanks and praise.
It's because I'm forgiven
It's because I'm free
It's because You've shown my mercy and You believed in me
It's because You're my Savior
It's because You're my friend
And Your love it lifts me higher than I've ever been.
Oh the wonder of Your ways
Oh the measure of Your grace
Greater than my heart can know
So how could I not celebrate
How could I not bless Your name
Singing out a song of love and thanks and praise.
You Are God Alone
You are not a god
Created by human hands
You are not a god
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a god
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that’s just the way it is
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone
You’re the only God
Whose power none can contend
You’re the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You’re the only God
Who’s worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that’s just the way it is
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That’s what You are

Here I Am To Worship
Here I Am To Worship Lyrics
Charles Haddon Spurgeon March 9th
Morning Reading "Yea, He is altogether lovely." — Song 5:16
The superlative beauty of Jesus is all-attracting; it is not so much to be admired as to be loved. He is more than pleasant and fair, He is lovely. Surely the people of God can fully justify the use of this golden word, for He is the object of their warmest love, a love founded on the intrinsic excellence of His person, the complete perfection of His charms. Look, O disciples of Jesus, to your Master's lips, and say, "Are they not most sweet?" Do not His words cause your hearts to burn within you as He talks with you by the way? Ye worshippers of Immanuel, look up to His head of much fine gold, and tell me, are not His thoughts precious unto you? Is not your adoration sweetened with affection as ye humbly bow before that countenance which is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars? Is there not a charm in His every feature, and is not His whole person fragrant with such a savour of His good ointments, that therefore the virgins love Him? Is there one member of His glorious body which is not attractive?--one portion of His person which is not a fresh lodestone to our souls?--one office which is not a strong cord to bind your heart? Our love is not as a seal set upon His heart of love alone; it is fastened upon His arm of power also; nor is there a single part of Him upon which it does not fix itself. We anoint His whole person with the sweet spikenard of our fervent love. His whole life we would imitate; His whole character we would transcribe. In all other beings we see some lack, in Him there is all perfection. The best even of His favoured saints have had blots upon their garments and wrinkles upon their brows; He is nothing but loveliness. All earthly suns have their spots: the fair world itself hath its wilderness; we cannot love the whole of the most lovely thing; but Christ Jesus is gold without alloy--light without darkness--glory without cloud--"Yea, He is altogether lovely."
HERE I AM TO WORSHIP
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness.
Opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days
oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me
Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me
I'll never know how much it cost
to see my sins upon that cross--

Today's Promise of the Lord
Today's Promise from the Bible Haggai 2:4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I [am] with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
Reflection:
Ever does the Lord make His presence known to His people. His grace and mercy are abundant and evident. Our Lord is ubiquitous and such His ever-presence is our great and undying comfort. Never need we fear for He is there and ready to attend our needs.
Psalm 146:8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
Reflection:
Be comforted, O child of the Redeemer! The Lord will always be there for you. Your every need will be filled. Your every sorrow will be mourned. The Lord shall faithfully lift your head and strengthen you in your time of adversity. Lean on Him. Trust in Him. For He is worthy. And He will care for you.
I quick story of how true this is everyday; but hit a spot as just Thursday i was praying for a specific situation and within 1 hour God sent a helper; someone to encourage; who in turn, started praying and reaching out to the one how needs it the most!
Our God is a Faithful God!

HIS Promise
Isaiah 54:8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. Reflection
Rejoice now and forevermore in the eternal covenant of peace bought by the Son of righteousness! God's compassion will last forever and His mercy to everlasting. Look to Him and embrace the heavenly hope promised to all His beloved children.

"Have faith in God." — Mark 11:22
Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the road of the commandments. Love can make the feet move more swiftly; but faith is the foot which carries the soul. Faith is the oil enabling the wheels of holy devotion and of earnest piety to move well; and without faith the wheels are taken from the chariot, and we drag heavily. With faith I can do all things; without faith I shall neither have the inclination nor the power to do anything in the service of God. If you would find the men who serve God the best, you must look for the men of the most faith. Little faith will save a man, but little faith cannot do great things for God. Poor Little-faith could not have fought "Apollyon;" it needed "Christian" to do that. Poor Little-faith could not have slain "Giant Despair;" it required "Great-heart's" arm to knock that monster down. Little faith will go to heaven most certainly, but it often has to hide itself in a nut-shell, and it frequently loses all but its jewels. Little-faith says, "It is a rough road, beset with sharp thorns, and full of dangers; I am afraid to go;" but Great-faith remembers the promise, "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; as thy days, so shall thy strength be:" and so she boldly ventures. Little-faith stands desponding, mingling her tears with the flood; but Great-faith sings, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:" and she fords the stream at once. Would you be comfortable and happy? Would you enjoy religion? Would you have the religion of cheerfulness and not that of gloom? Then "have faith in God." If you love darkness, and are satisfied to dwell in gloom and misery, then be content with little faith; but if you love the sunshine, and would sing songs of rejoicing, covet earnestly this best gift, "great faith."
WOW i like this!! It makes me think of my youngest; but then i remember not to look at others but myself first. Many times i have called myself a women of Faith, just to be shown that i was weak in an area of Faith. Although, not to boast, i can truly say without Faith I surely could not have suceeded these past 2 years! Moreover to say, Without HIM in my Life, I surely would have fainted away into a little shell. Praise Be to God, My Saviour, My Guide and Counselor for it IS because of HIS Faithfulness that i am a Women of Faith!
Rejoice now and forevermore in the eternal covenant of peace bought by the Son of righteousness! God's compassion will last forever and His mercy to everlasting. Look to Him and embrace the heavenly hope promised to all His beloved children.

Little-faith stands desponding, mingling her tears with the flood; but Great-faith sings, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:" and she fords the stream at once. Would you be comfortable and happy? Would you enjoy religion? Would you have the religion of cheerfulness and not that of gloom? Then "have faith in God." If you love darkness, and are satisfied to dwell in gloom and misery, then be content with little faith; but if you love the sunshine, and would sing songs of rejoicing, covet earnestly this best gift, "great faith."
WOW i like this!! It makes me think of my youngest; but then i remember not to look at others but myself first. Many times i have called myself a women of Faith, just to be shown that i was weak in an area of Faith. Although, not to boast, i can truly say without Faith I surely could not have suceeded these past 2 years! Moreover to say, Without HIM in my Life, I surely would have fainted away into a little shell. Praise Be to God, My Saviour, My Guide and Counselor for it IS because of HIS Faithfulness that i am a Women of Faith!

Today's Promise from the Bible Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and is safe.
A tower's walls protect its inhabitants and its heights give warning of an enemy's approach. In the same way, the Lord's love protects us and His grace has opened our eyes to see that Satan is our enemy. In order to use the tower's heights and protection to our advantage, we must find ourselves within its bounds. The Lord's love and grace stands as the strongest of towers. Trust in God. Be filled with His love and grace to overflowing. And take shelter in the towering strength of His arms.
My Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for protecting us *my family and all how read this* and opening our eyes to Your salvation! Please guide us into the protection of Your strength!
Your Throne O God
Ed Kerr
Your throne O God Will last forever and ever,
Your throne O GodWill last forever and ever.
A sceptre of justice
Will be the scepter of Your Kingdom
Your throne O God
Will last forever forever and ever
High in the heavenlies
You rule over all of creation
Angels surround You with praise
We join in their chorus
Yours is the Kingdom
The power the glory
Kingdoms of earth will fall
But Yours will stand forever
Your throne O God
Will last forever and ever
