Sinking Deep

Sometimes we come into seasons of hope and joy. We look around and can visibly see God's blessings in our life. And then there are times when we come into seasons where we need Him to be relentless in pursuing us so that we can be stirred by His amazing grace...A time when we need to do nothing but sink deep into His presence.

Seasons can be hard. But I am so thankful God provides a beautiful shelter from whatever it is we need to weather. He showers us with His love and just waits for us to make Him our everything, our one true desire.

I love that He is ever present because I can praise Him and rejoice in Him for the many blessings He gives me in one season, but without any doubt, I can cry out to Him and He will be there and He will be faithful in every way in the very next season. That's the beauty of who He is.

Sometimes the lion roars, but have no fear! God is bigger than the lion!! He is your safety and shelter from any and every storm.  And He deserves all of the glory!

Prayer: Lord God, most Heavenly Father, thank you for your protection and faithfulness. Thank you for always being ready for our cries, both in rejoice and in need. You know us so intimately and you know our needs so well. Help us to trust in You and Your goodness. We praise you for our blessings and seek you as our one desire, our everything. We love you Lord! Amen

Psalm 91: 1-13

 1-13 You who sit down in the High God’s presence,
    spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow,
Say this: “God, you’re my refuge.
    I trust in you and I’m safe!”
That’s right—he rescues you from hidden traps,
    shields you from deadly hazards.
His huge outstretched arms protect you—
    under them you’re perfectly safe;
    his arms fend off all harm.
Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night,
    not flying arrows in the day,
Not disease that prowls through the darkness,
    not disaster that erupts at high noon.
Even though others succumb all around,
    drop like flies right and left,
    no harm will even graze you.
You’ll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance,
    watch the wicked turn into corpses.
Yes, because God’s your refuge,
    the High God your very own home,
Evil can’t get close to you,
    harm can’t get through the door.
He ordered his angels
    to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble, they’ll catch you;
    their job is to keep you from falling.
You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,
    and kick young lions and serpents from the path.
