learning from Psalm 91


Maybe you need some redirecting as I do at times.  I need it, and I am grateful that God continues, through His word, to help me see Him, His character and His path for me.


Take some time each day in His word to hear His heart and even to adjust your following of Him.  It might make a bigger difference than you know.


Here is a Psalm that gives us some strong truth about God.  I believe it will echo your experience as well as reassure us of how God works is and through our lives.  Not the things that stand out.  Praise Him for those and apply even more what God says to you.


Psalm 91  NLT


Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2  This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. 3  For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. 4  He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings.  His faithful promises are your armor and protection. 5  Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 6  Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7  Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. 8 Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. 9  If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, 10  no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. 11  For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. 12  They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. 13  You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! 14  The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 15  When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. 16  I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”


God is good, and He is good all the time.  This chapter from Psalms says that over and over in my heart.  Now I will apply it to my life today and tomorrow.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
