God's Promises - Safety Psalm 91

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust."

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge:
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand and your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.

Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

For He shall give His angles charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high because he has known My name.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him,

With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.

God's Promises - His love

"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
Nor angles nor principalities nor powers,
Nor things present nor things to come,
Nor any other created thing,
Shall be able to separate us from the love of God
Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  Romans 8:38-39

"But God, who is rich in mercy, 
Because of His great love with which He loved us,
Even when we were dead in our trespasses,
Made us alive together with Christ - 
By grace you have been saved."  Ephesians 2:4-5

"In this love of God was manifested toward us,
That God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,
That We might live through Him.
In this is love, not that we have loved God
But that He loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
1 John 4:9-11

God's Promises - Forgiveness

This list is not an exhaustive one,
just a taste of the beautiful thing called forgiveness.
The Lord so easily and delightfully forgives us,
the hard part for us is imitating His example.
I by no means am an expert at it.  I am still a work in progress.

"But He was wounded for our transgressions, 
He was bruised for our iniquities; 
the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; 
and by His stripes we are healed.  
All we like sheep have gone astray; 
we have turned everyone to his own way; 
and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all."  Isaiah 53:5-6

"But now in Christ Jesus, you who sometimes were far off 
have been brought near by the blood of Christ."  Ephesians 2:13

"And you being dead in your trespasses 
and the uncircumcision of your flesh, 
He has made alive together with Him, 
having forgiven you all trespasses, 
having wiped out the handwriting of 
requirements that was against us, 
which was contrary to us."  Colossians 2:13-14

"Jesus Himself bore our sins in His own body on a the tree, 
that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness - 
by whose stripes we were healed." 1 Peter 2:24

God's Promises - Strength and Confidence

"It is God who arms me with strength and 
makes my way perfect." Psalm 18:32

"My flesh and my heart fail; 
but God is the strength of 
my heart, and my portion 
forever." Psalm 73:26

"The Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot 
from being caught." Proverbs 3:26

"He gives power to the weak and to those who have no might 
He increases strength.  Even the youth shall faint and be weary, 
and the young men shall utterly faill, but those who wait on the Lord 
shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles; 
they shall run and not be weary; They shall walk and not faint."  Isaiah 40:29-31

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope 
is in the Lord.  For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, 
which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when 
heat comes; but its leaf will be green and will not be anxious 
in the year of the drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit."  Jeremiah 17:5-8

"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; 
that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, 
may have an abundance for every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:8

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made 
perfect in weakness."  2 Corinthians 12:9

"...according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus 
our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through 
faith in Him."  Ephesians 3:11-12

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  Philippians 4:13

"Let us therefore come boldly 
to the throne of grace 
that we may obtain mercy 
and find grace to help in the time of need." Hebrews 4:16

"Therefore submit to God.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you.  
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."  James 4:7

"Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up."  James 4:10

God's Promises - When We Diligently Seek Him

I have been overwhelmed with all of life's obligations for awhile.
Hence the lack of pictures or updates on here.
I didn't even finish last years "Picture of the Day"project.


This is me overwhelmed on a rough day and 
realizing my older girls aren't even teenagers yet.. I need grace!

I thought I'd get back into blogging by typing out a list of scriptures
I received from a speaker of a conference I attended last year;
the conference was about being overwhelmed. (Perfect!)
I'll break it down into different posts with different subjects.

As I'm getting ready to type this list,
I have the prayer room playing and the line they are singing is:
"I press on to win the prize and I forget what lies behind.
I will get up again, get up again."





God's Promises - When We Diligently Seek Him

"His divine power has given to us all things 
that pertain to life and godliness through the 
knowledge of Him who called us by glory and 
virtue by which have been given to us exceedingly 
great and precious promises, that through these you 
may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped 
the corruption that is in the world through lust." 2 Peter 1:2-4

"Ask and it shall be given you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be 
opened to you. For everyone who ask receives; and he who seeks finds; and 
to him who knocks it will be opened." Matthew 7:11

"If you abide in Me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and 
it shall be done for you." John 15:7

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that comes to God, must believe 
that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6
