In the Shadow of Your Wings

Last night was a big wake up call...the screaming call said, "The Sixers season has begun!" Bill had a game last night and I had a headache. The kids were fighting and I was angry...at them and at my circumstance. I left the kids in their rooms to get ready for bed and I went to lay down on the bed to close my eyes. This is when Psalm 63 popped into my head. I had no idea what it said so this usually means God is trying to tell me something. I opened my bible and read.

Verse 3 "Because your steadfast love is better than life."

Verse 6 & 7 " when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy."

This brought me great comfort & peace. As I pondered how good God is to me to speak to me through His Word, I realized Madison had been caring for the kids, helping them get ready for bed & was reading a book to Matthew & Adrienne. I was greatly encouraged & honored Madison, prayed & tucked them into bed.

I have heard many skeptics say things about the bible, "It's just another book written by men." Let me just say that time after time in the 12 years I have been reading the bible, God has comforted me, corrected me, given me wisdom in various circumastances and displayed His love for me. The bible is real, it has power, it is alive...and I believe it! If you've never read it, why not start? See if what I (and billions of other believers) say is true. Start in the book of John and maybe God will speak to you as well!!
