REMIND ME OF YOUR GREATNESS

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the 
LORD, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.
“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.” 

I want to be reminded each day of how great  a God you are, that even with the battles that wage inside me and the worries that uncertainty, doubt or disappointment bring I am truly loved by you.

I know that I shouldn't let the situations that am in ever let me despair, forgive me when I cry, when am afraid and again remind me that even before I was, you set aside a beautiful plan for my life, you blessed me so I could bless those that I love and you supply me with the strength that I need to face each day and to be confident in myself and above all to hold onto my faith, cherishing it, nurturing it because it is my faith in you that gives me life.

The past few days haven’t been easy, too many questions remain unanswered but I have to trust that you are never late. That is what I hold on to; give me the patience to wait and to not give up. There will come a day when all will be as it should be and this will be just a distant memory. It will be a testimony that you Lord are faithful to those who wait on you.
