We are now on the road to being convinced that God loves us and nothing can take that love away. I want to share with you a Psalm that a dear friend from England shared with me when I was going through a rough time
Psalm 91
1) Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty
2) This I declare of the Lord
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety
He is my God and I am trusting Him
3) For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from the fatal plague.
4) He will shield you with his wings.
He will shelter you with his feathers.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection
5) Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor fear the dangers of the day.
6) nor dread the plague that stalks in darkness nor the disaster that strikes at midday
7) Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you
8)But you will see it with your eyes; you will see how the wicked are punished
9) If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter
10) no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your dwelling.
11)For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go
12) They will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.
13) You will trample down lions and poisonous snakes; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14) The Lord says "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
15) When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue them and honor them
16) I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my salvation.
May we all find rest in the shelter of the Most High.
Thank you for this refuge, Lord, Diane

Psalm 40:1-5
1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is the man
who makes the LORD his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods. [a]
5 Many, O LORD my God,
are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us
no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare.
God is Great!
Grace and Peace
YOU ARE RIGHT FOR THIS IS WHAT PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY:
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE. PEOPLE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND WHO GOD IS TALKING TO AND THE WHY. IN THIS GOD SHOWED THE PEOPLE THAT PAUL WAS FROM GOD BECAUSE THEY CALLED HIM god.
Act 28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Act 28:4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
Act 28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
Act 28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
WHEN JESUS CAME HE USED MIRICALES FOR ONE PURPOSE ONLY. TO PROVE TO THE JEW THAT HE WAS SENT BY GOD BECAUSE A JEW REQUIRES A SIGN. HERE GOD DECIDED TO USE A MIRACLE TO PROVE THE PAUL WAS NOT A MURDERER BECAUE THEY RECOGNIZED HIM AS A god.
PEOPLE WHO TAKE ONE VERSE OF SCRIPTURE OUT OF CONTEXT AND MAKE IT A MAN MADE REQUIREMENT TO BE A CHRISTIAN; I CALL THEM A ONE VERSE RELIGION.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A ONE VERSE RELIGION IS FOUND IN JOHN 8:11:
Joh 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
SO THERE IS A SECT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE ESTABLISHED THEIR OWE MAN MADE RULE TO BE A CHRISTIAN THAT WHEN YOU ARE SAVE, YOU DID NOT SIN ANYMORE. BUT WHAT JESUS WAS TALKING ABOUT WAS THAT SHE SHOULD GO AND DO NOT THAT PARTICULAT SIN ANYMORE.
