Nahum 1:7, “The LORD is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him” (NLT).
God is good. He is merciful and kind. He is a strong tower and refuge. He is my resting place. I’m in a season of life where family is aging and loved ones are passing. It’s hard to see and hear the suffering of those who are ill. I’m blessed to have many loved ones who still are with me and I shed a tear for those who are gone. But I also rejoice knowing that their suffering is no more. They are at home with the Father. They are in God’s loving hands. Peace eternal is their’s.
Trouble comes, but I am not alone. I have God. I have my Father holding my hands and the hands of those dear to me. I have a refuge and I trust Him. I trust His timing and His Word. I trust His love. I am safe and I thank Him for His peace.
Lord, You know all things and all seasons. You are my refuge and my strength. You are God and I am grateful to be your daughter. Thank You for all the many ways You come to my side and my family’s aid. I love You. In Jesus name. Amen
Hi Jennifer! It’s Miriam from First 5. I noticed today that you have at the very top of your page the Shema a prayer that Jews pray twice a day. I’m doing a Bible study on the 5 Jewish prayers that all Christians should Know. This is one of two prayers that God commanded for them to pray. The first is the Modeh Ani which means Thank You. Thanking God before your feet hit the floor for another day.
ReplyDeleteMiriam, It's Laura from 1st 5 also. I would LOVE to know the 5 Jewish prayers if you can share. Maybe on draw the circle on 1 st 5😉
