This past Sunday, our pastor preached a message out of Exodus 17, entitled, 'God Can Be Trusted?' One of the verses he highlighted was verse 15, where Moses built an altar to celebrate the Israelite's victory over the Amalekites. Moses called the altar, 'The LORD is My Banner,' or Yehovah Nissi. Our pastor asked the … Continue reading The LORD is our Banner

He Shall be Called – Everlasting Father
I thought 'Mighty God' was awesome for His name until I considered 'EVERLASTING FATHER.' Talk about a full meal deal. Wow! Get ready for a feast. EVERLASTING is #5703 in Strong's. And it comes from #5710. #5703 -'ad' : —eternity, ever(-lasting, -more), old, perpetually, world without end.

As I sat with the Lord this morning, praying for our nation and all the upheaval taking place, I heard this scripture: Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

You Shall Not Be Afraid from the Destruction that Lays Waste at Noonday – Psalm 91:6b
I love this picture. Just as this gull is soaring in the heavens, we too are meant to soar above all the enemy's schemes without fear. This part of the verse shouts with praise to our God.

You Shall Not Be Afraid of the Pestilence that Walks in Darkness Psalm 91:6a
Wow, here we go with the pestilence again -- twice in this psalm. They do get around and we are often caught unaware by their tactics. They pop out of nowhere and grab hold of our attention and our emotions. Once our ‘feelings’ are involved, it is more difficult to send them packing. Verses 5 … Continue reading You Shall Not Be Afraid of the Pestilence that Walks in Darkness Psalm 91:6a
Under His Wings I Will Trust Psalm 91:4b
I can only remember one short period of riding a bus to school. Mostly, we walked. There were times when I dreaded it. What did we do with the books? You see backpacks weren't considered gear for students then. I think the reason I’m not any taller is because of the volumes I jostled and … Continue reading Under His Wings I Will Trust Psalm 91:4b
God Has Feathers? Yes, He Does. Psalm 91:4
Good morning from the Secret Place. David wrote an interesting description of God's care when he wrote, "He shall cover you with His feathers" Psalm 91:4a. When I first read this piece, the immediate question was, “How can God have feathers? What on earth is He talking about?” Down filled jackets and comforters are the … Continue reading God Has Feathers? Yes, He Does. Psalm 91:4
What is the Snare of the Fowler? Psalm 91:3b
How many of you are bird watchers? Have you ever watched a conservationist try to snare a bird to tag for later I.D.? But conservationists don't snare people. So, why did David used this phrase with regard to human beings? I think you will be surprised. Psalm 91:3b says, “Surely, He shall deliver you from … Continue reading What is the Snare of the Fowler? Psalm 91:3b
