The Shelter!

Yesterday was a blessed day in the house of the Lord -- a holy day when we laid aside the cares and burdens of life and worshiped the Lord in the beauty of holiness!  But today is Monday, and we must again pick up the cares and burdens of life.  However, I am so thankful we do not need to carry them or bear them alone!  Jesus wants to walk with us and be to us all we need Him to be!  Praise the Lord for the glory of His presence!

In the past few days, I have found myself humming or singing the words of this song, and they have been a blessing to me.  I trust that they will be a blessing to you as you face the storms that you may be facing today!

     "I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender.
They're leading me in paths that I must trod.
      I'll have no fear when Jesus walks beside me,
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

      Soon I shall hear the call from heaven's portals.
Come home my child, it's the last mile you must trod.
      I'll fall asleep, and wake in God's new heaven,
Sheltered safe within the arms of God.

      So let the storms rage high -- the dark clouds rise --
They won't worry me --
      For I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God.
He walks with me, and naught of earth shall harm me,
      For I'm sheltered in the arms of God."

Praise the Lord -- and remember as you walk with Jesus this week, this wonderful assurance from the book of Deuteronomy:
     "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."
