Good day and praise God that He has given us another day and another chance. As I was going through my study today, I was feeling a little angry about some things that have taken place over the last few days in my life and how I have been let down by people making commitments that they didn’t keep. I remembered how I walked outside and looked down and saw my shadow after the sun came out after it had rained yesterday and it was following me no matter where I went and how I felt. I thought about JESUS and a big smile came to my face and the pity party and fit of anger was over.

^{Lamentations 3::22-24}

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”

Do you get it? I did!

Today’s Prayer

Father , “here am I, send me.” Isaiah experienced Your presence and fell on his face in repentance. He was so in awe that he cried out for You to send Him. Lord, as a child of yours, I beg for Your forgiveness and ask You to send me out into my world of influence to do Your will, to reach others for You, to accomplish that which You would have me do. I pray for Your guidance always and Your wisdom, and boldness through the Holy Spirit. I pray for my neighbors, that those who know You would grow closer to You and be Christ like in the community and that those who do not know You will see Jesus in us and our lives. I pray that they will see themselves in need of a Savior, and see the blessings You have bestowed upon us, and know that You are God. In JESUS’ name I pray, Amen.

Let’s eat.

Shadows

Shadow of the Rock

King James

Isaiah 32:2

And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

 Salvation Shadow of His wings

New Living Translation

Psalms 63:1-7

O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

 Protection Shadow of His Presence

King James

Song of Solomon 2:3

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
