Shelter and Empower

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!' For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence." -Psalms 91:1-3 (NASB)

There are many times when I don't want my daughter to see or know too much.  Certain situations in life are better kept from young eyes, ears, hearts, and minds.  I want to shelter her or provide her with a safe place to learn and grow until she is ready to experience more of the world.  Just like I want my daughter to be protected now and still growing stronger, God is concerned with the well-being of each of us!

God, our Father, wants to protect us, too.  He will be our shelter.  He will protect us.  We can always trust in God to look out for our well-being.  There are times when God will pull us away and shelter us from the rest of the world.  There are other times when God knows we are ready to face challenges and He allows us to face them, all the while remaining at our side.  In His infinite wisdom, God knows when to shelter and protect us and when to empower us to face the challenges before us!

Allow God to shelter and empower you throughout your journey!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being my Heavenly Father and for being concerned about my well-being.  Please protect and shelter me and please remain by my side and empower me, depending on the situation I face.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
