Psalm 91:1-2
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’ “
I just want to share a brief thought with you for today. It is a suggestion that these daily messages become your “secret place.” It seems like we all need a place where we can go to restore our minds, and hearts, out of the prying eyes of people around us.
Many of you have written to me, sharing your questions, hurts and disappointments. In some instances, the people who have been indifferent to your pain are the very ones who should have responded to your need. It saddens me when I read of the trials you are experiencing, but I am so pleased to try to share godly counsel, and to act as a sounding board.
You know that I strive to make the Daily-E-Votionals as simple and digestible as possible. I personally do not believe that God designed His Word for only those with a doctor’s degree in theology. Jesus was a carpenter. He called fishermen, a tax collector, and such like to be His disciples. Even women with sordid backgrounds were freed from their life of sin and followed along, when possible.
My desire is to be as understandable as possible. For those of you who have not received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord, I want to be able to explain the plan of salvation to you, in terms that a child could understand.
For those of you who have turned your back on God and are not walking with Him right now, I would love to be the door that leads you back into fellowship. I will try to listen to your questions and show you God’s answers to those questions.
For those of you who feel that there is no hope, that life is just not worth the effort, that you are no good and have no ability, I want to light a fire within you to get on God’s fast-track to victory and purpose.
This is your safe place, your secret place, your shelter from the storms of life. You can rely on this E-Votional Pastor to listen, pray, and respond honestly and according to God’s Word.
Blessings dear hearts. Walk with God today. Trust Him completely and be a blessing.
