Walking in the Shade

September 21, 2012 by Debbie 3 Comments

The other day, Gracie and I were on a long walk back to the car in a hot, crowded parking lot.  I noticed her walking closely by my side as she smiled up at me and said, “Mom, look, I’m walking in your shade.”  I loved that she wanted to be in my shadow, that I could help shield her from the heat of the sun.
This verse immediately came to my mind,
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1
Isn’t it great to know that when we’re resting in God’s “shadow,” we don’t face the full heat of our difficulties, He shelters us from that pain.  His shade diminishes what we actually feel in the intensity of the heat.
So grateful for His goodness over us each day.  We may never know this side of heaven how very much He has sheltered us from in this life.
Thankful.for.my.Savior.

If I could, I’d offer you a cup of coffee and would love a chance just to sit and talk, to hear your stories about life – the joys and the struggles too.

In whatever you’re facing today, my heart is that you might find some encouragement through these pages and fresh hope in God’s words ...
