The sooner I call on Jesus, the better. He takes on my care and, as a result, I find rest in Him. Mmmm…
“Help me, Jesus.” This is one of my favorite prayers. ☺
It’s amazing how He comes to my rescue with His peace when I send out those three, simple, honest words to Him.
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
I had another strong migraine Monday. I rode my bike to see if that would help with the difficult hormone issues the migraines bring on. Then, I did some work around the house. The migraine got a lot worse. The pain was so severe I couldn’t sleep much this morning.
Yes, I know hearing about my migraines probably gets old. But, one thing I will never get tired of doing is encouraging you to face anything and everything in life with Jesus. Think about it. That we can choose Jesus – no matter what we’re facing – is so incredible. I’m praising and thanking Him and relying on Him. What a blessing that is. He’s with me in all my troubles showing me His salvation, showing me that I can choose Him over my situations at all times. This is His dwelling place. Hallelujah! Thank you, Prince of Peace. Oh, victory in Jesus, my Savior forever.
Set your love upon Jesus. Let Him deliver you and set you on High with Him as you enter His rest. Amen?!
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
