For a Friend

Tonight the Lord gave me Psalm 91 for someone I care so much about.  I pray that these verses would cover him and his spirit.  I pray for salvation...I pray for hope....I pray for the light of truth to penetrate the lies.

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

Psalm 91

Obedience

"Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience."

- AW Tozer

So Samuel said: "Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams."
--1 Samuel 15:22

Enough Said.

"If we surrender our hearts to God 

we may expect a wondrous enlargement. 

And who knows what He can do 

if we take our hands off
and let Him work? "

-AW Tozer

Enough said.

The God Who Is the Same

 

“In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing You will change them
and they will be discarded.
But You remain the same,
and Your years will never end.”
Psalm 102:25-27

“Let the God who is the same
yesterday, today, and forever
steady your world today.
Whatever challenge or change confronts you,
let it drive you toward the God who never changes,
a God so stable and strong
you can lean on Him forever.”
-Ann Sprangler
