Shelter

Aug 16, 2020    Nathan Lesher

We continue to dig into the Psalms, our summer playlist. This week, we look at Psalm 91. This Psalm is a reminder for us, especially in the tough stuff, that we never walk alone. Pressure and stress can seem as stifling as a hot afternoon summer sun. Yet God whispers truth, strong and sure. It’s in the safe place that brings confidence; for when we are resting is God’s shadow, we will never face the full heat of our difficulties. He shelters from that pain. His shade, His shadow, diminishes what is actually felt in the intensity of all the heat. Rest, peace, and calm rise up strong, right in the struggling mess of life, and we’re assured, He's in control.
