    Because

    by TerryLema June 29, 2025

    It is just like the LORD to bring a Scripture that I need exactly when I need it. I was a bit unsettled with everything going on in my life currently and as I opened my Verse of the Day, I found Psalm 91.

    “The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty…. Because you have made the Lord—my refuge, the Most High—your dwelling place, no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent.” [Psalm 91:1, 9-10 HCSB]

    I will be having surgery in July, and I have numerous things that must be done before that date. I have labs and peri-operative and pre-operative appointments, as well as things to set in place at home. I was running in overdrive trying to get a list together and make sure that I have everything covered for the six-month recovery period.

    I felt a bit breathless … then Psalm 91 came into view. I immediately stopped, took a deep breath, and prayed. “Because” I have made the Most High God my Lord and Savior, I have a dwelling place. I have protection. I have a refuge.

    So I crawled under the “Shadow of the Almighty” and relaxed. He’s got this. He’s got me. God is good and I have nothing (no harm, no plague) that can touch me. Amen and Amen.
