Daily Reflections

​Whispers in the Wind

​Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed.”
(John 20:29 NIV)
We can’t see God.  We can’t take Him by the hand or even converse with Him face-to-face like we do a friend.  But we still know He is present in our lives because we can experience the effects.  God moves among His people, and we can hear the still, small  voice.  And, just as we can feel the wind across our cheeks, we can feel God’s presence.  We don’t need to physically see God to know that He exists and that He’s working.
Prayer:
You are like the wind, Lord. Powerful and fast moving, soft and gentle.  We may not see You, but we can sense You.  Help us to believe even when we can’t see.
Amen.

Those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

​(Psalm 91:1-2 NLT)

 ​
If something is getting you down in life, check your location. Where are your thoughts? Let what the world has conditioned you to think go in one ear and out the other.  Stand on the truth, the promises of God’s Word.  Say of the Lord, “God is my refuge! I am hidden in Christ! Nothing can harm me. In Him I trust!”  Say it loud. Say it often. Say it over and over until it becomes your reality.  And you will find yourself dwelling in that secret place every moment of the day.
Prayer:  
God, you are my refuge. When I abide in You, nothing can harm me.  your Word is the truth on which I rely.  Fill me with your light and the peace of Your love. It’s You and me, Lord, all the way.  Amen.
