Map
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence. Psalm 91:1-3
This last week I had a terrible dream that had all kinds of dark and horrible experiences all tied into one dream. I woke up in a desperate plea for God to surround me with His presence. I eventually was able to sleep again, but when I awoke I still had the remnants of that horrible experience. I remembered to thank God that next morning, because I knew the enemy was sneaking in and trying to tell me I was not good enough to be with God. This is why I love this scripture so much, and mainly due to one word, fortress. If God is our fortress, it is a destination we want in our life, and to reach that destination, we need a map. That map is in God's Word in many locations, and repeated over and over again. We need to remember to not let the enemy tell us lies, and use the map to get to God's fortress of protection. How much better is it to rest in His shadow, than live in the shadows with fear. Fear not.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
