Hebrews 3:12-13
“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.“

Psalm 17:8
“Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.“
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I once read about a forest service worker who was walking through an area that had just been ravaged by a forest fire. He saw a strange mound and stopped to check it out. To his astonishment it was a mother bird that had been killed by the fire. As he knelt to examine the bird, he heard a peep from under the pile of ashes. When he turned the bird over he found several chicks.
Instead of flying to save herself, the mother had sacrificed herself in order to protect her brood from the fire that was sweeping toward them. That is what Jesus has done for us. He wants to shelter us under His wings from the firestorm of life.
In 1896, William Cushing wrote the words and Ira Sankey composed the music to the hymn, Under His Wings. Enjoy this featured hymn from GloryScapes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
1. Under His wings I am safely abiding,
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me,
He has redeemed me, and I am His child.
Refrain: Under His wings, under His wings, who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall abide, safely abide forever.
2. Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow!
How the heart yearningly turns to His rest!
Often when earth has no balm for my healing,
There I find comfort, and there I am blessed.
Refrain: Under His wings, under His wings, who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall abide, safely abide forever.
3. Under His wings, oh, what precious enjoyment!
There will I hide till life’s trials are over;
Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me,
Resting in Jesus, I am safe evermore.
Refrain: Under His wings, under His wings, who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall abide, safely abide forever.

Luke 16:10
“He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much;
and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.“
In a world that largely perverts justice, it is easy to become jaded in our thinking and prone to be pessimistic. It seems that those who strive to do what is noble and right are punished, while those who sin and sow discord are rewarded. So what else is new? That has been going on since sin entered into the world!
We are not called to be overcome by sin, but to overcome by means of the shed blood of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ! That means that we are to live a life that reflects the indwelling power of salvation that overcomes the world.
The question is: ARE WE FAITHFUL OR UNJUST? Are we just as faithful when we are all alone as when we are surrounded by witnesses? If we are the one lone born-again believer in the crowd, do we behave as a true believer should? I pray that the words of our mouth and the thoughts of our mind will be pleasing to our Savior and Lord!
Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and be a blessing!

Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.“
I have had the DELIGHTFUL (I mean that sarcastically) experience of being struck with shingles. No, not the kind you put on your roof to keep out the rain, but the medical condition.
Most times a case of shingles produces blisters and extreme pain. I had that to some extent, but unfortunately my strain took a more sinister turn and went into the nerves of my left leg. It caused me to lose the feeling in that leg and resort to crutches until the condition ran its course.
During that time of pain and paralysis I learned more and more to depend upon the Lord. I was to face even more situations that would force me to lean heavily upon the Lord. Loss physically, financially, emotionally or the death of a loved one forces us to lean on the One who is always there and never fails.
If you are leaning on finances or others as your support, that may be fine. I am here to remind you that those resources may not always be there for you. On the other hand, the Lord Jesus Christ is here now and always. Jesus never fails!

Psalm 31:3
“For Thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for Thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.“
I can recall times when I was told to follow the leader. One of these times was high in the mountains when our Boy Scout troop was crossing a steep rock slide and in order to keep from starting a rock slide that would have cost us our life, we had to place our feet precisely where our leader had placed his.
That is also true in following in the steps of our Savior and Lord. There are many temptations for us to get off the path that the Lord has prepared for us. The enemy of our soul uses every tempting devise in his arsenal to persuade us to follow him.
We always need to remember that the wages of sin is death. We can face the death of dreams and the death of being a faithful witness for the Lord. How sad to witness people follow the wrong leader and end in bitter failure.
Our Great Guide and Leader, Jesus Christ came into this sin sick world to provide a way through the wilderness of sin. It may seem to be hard at times to follow close behind Him, but remember He has been this way before and no matter what dangers surround us He will never fail. We only have to follow the Leader!

Romans 15:13
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.“
Back in my teen age years I worked at a gas station. Those were the days when the gas station attendant would not only pump your gas, but clean the windows check the oil and radiator levels. It was after all a service station.
I was always glad when a customer asked that I fill her up. That meant I was not required to keep an eye on the pump if a customer only wanted a few dollars worth of gas.
All too often we approach the Lord’s filling station and ask for only a partial filling. We are not committed to receiving all that He has prepared to fill our spiritual tanks with. As a result we frequently find ourselves running on empty.
I don’t know about you, but it seems like we live in perilous times when we need to keep our spiritual tanks filled. That means spending quality time in God’s Word and communing with Him in prayer. FILL ME UP LORD!
Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!
