Psalm 91:4
He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
I can't get the image of the baby goose peaking from above his daddy's wing, watching cautiously all around him. His brother frolicked in a puddle nearby, the rain poured so hard it came down in pelts...the thunder roared and the lightening flashed. I couldn't help but think of Psalm 91:4 as I watched both of them. One was fearful of the rain and ran right to the refuge of his daddy as I should do when I become fearful. My Daddy in heaven will cover me with His wings. He will be my refuge. I want to obey and not be so fearful and know as the frolicking goose knew that he was being watched over as he frolicked. As I watched both of them, I realized I want to be less fearful and be more like the frolicking goose. I want to not be afraid to step out in faith and obey no matter the dangers because God is watching over me. Anytime I tried to get near to take pictures, the daddy did its bleating noise. I need to trust in God more. That no matter what He asks me to do I should not be afraid. He wants to use me and I want to be used, but I can't be afraid. He has my hand. He will not let go. I am underneath His wing whether I am so close I can hear His heart beat or I am working for Him and it feels I am not close although I am. And I can always run straight to Him. I was reading in 2 Peter 1:5-11 and the verse that spoke of supplementing my faith really hit me. In order to obey to have self-control, have patient endurance, share brotherly, sisterly love, I must have action in my faith. And trust that Daddy has my back when I am working for him.
God really is so amazing. He sent Jesus here to die for me. There is nothing He won't forgive me for. He wants to use me and I want to be used. I choose to follow Him and I choose to strive to be more like the frolicking baby. I am just a baby in Christ myself and as I grow the stronger my faith becomes. I stand firm in my faith more and more each day as He guides me, teaches me, disciplines me, loves me, shelters me. He is always there. I recommend reading the whole Psalm. This is a scary world we live in but there is no need for fear when Jesus is in our heart. When we realize that Jesus has already won. He has overcome the world. All the trials and sorrows we go through will only grow us closer to Him! I rejoice in them. I again can't help but think of John 16:33. I cling to Jesus' words and His promise. I want to frolic under the watchful protection of my Daddy!!!
I love Jesus so much..I am freaky for Jesus. He saved me. He underwent torture, ridicule and he was sinless. He was punished for my sins! I am washed white as snow with his blood. My heart pounds with love and appreciation for what He did for me only because He loves me! That is all. There is nothing I can do to get to heaven except believing and loving him. And I do!!! 2 Peter 1:2 May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. Amen to that!!!!
I praise God with all my heart and soul...I seek him diligently! Matthew 6:33 and Psalm 37:4! I am forever and eternally the daughter of Jesus Christ my Lord! So, even during the torrential downpours in my life, I will remember that Daddy is watching over me. Even when He's asking me to do things that make no sense and seem impossible and I can barely see through the large droplets, I will be comforted in knowing that He is always there! Always!
God bless my Daddy up in heaven!
