Greetings, Dear Friends!

A special welcome to my visitors! I post every Wednesday and my purpose is to nourish your soul along the way.

Well, I did it again. I missed my post yesterday, but I have an excuse! Yesterday was the 4th of July as you know, and it didn't even occur to me to post. For some reason the blogosphere wasn't even on my radar.

Today is a new day and what I have to share with you feels especially important.

For the past week or so, the Lord has drawn me to Psalm 91 on a daily basis. Every morning I've been reading the whole chapter aloud. And every morning, I take one verse from that chapter and I ponder its meaning. I want my own ears to hear the promises and the contingencies that go along with those promises. I want a close up look at each verse in this wonderful passage of Scripture.

In this day of unrest and amidst the continual threats from the terrorists I've been feeling compelled to taste and smell and know Psalm 91 inside and out.

I ask you to know the same thing.

Take time to understand how to position yourself before the Lord so that if and when the threats and plagues come near you, they will not touch you. Know how to stand without fear. Know what it means to stand strong because of faith.

Let's look at the first part of the first verse in this chapter.

It's packed with meaning...
