Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

It's amazing to me how Satan knows our personal weaknesses and vulnerabilities - those sins that can especially wound and disable us from the work Christ Jesus.

—Psalm 121:7-8 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

—Psalm 91:1 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

We are blessed to be as close to God as his shadow and to share in the comfort of his sheltering presence. He is not far from our hearts as we choose to draw near him. Sounding very much like the beatitudes of Jesus, Isaiah shares God's promise with us:
