Devotional for Tuesday, July 24th  |
| |
|  Psalm 91:2 I will say to the Lord, "You are my place of safety and protection. You are my God and I trust you."
As some of you know, our oldest daughter Kristen, is working at our veterinarian's office this summer. When she asked what I thought about her working for Dr. Jill I laid down the Mommy Law: "That's fine. BUT, no more animals! Understood?"
We are now fostering our second animal. Tyson is the cutest 5 week old Labrador puppy whose mother was killed long before he was ready to be weaned. We have bottle fed this little guy and tried to keep him nourished and cuddled as his own mother would. Baby, our 2 year old Yorkshire Terrier/Chihuahua mix is doing her part to help.
Yesterday, Tyson, who by the way looks like a baby polar bear with a long tail, sat beside the pet bed and cried. It was so sad, that I almost wanted to cry. Baby had been outside, but as soon as she came back in, heard Tyson's whimpers and came running as fast as she could get to him. She gently pushed him with her nose up into the bed, and then curled herself around him, putting her head across his neck. The puppy immediately quit crying and went to sleep.
Do you ever feel like Tyson? I do. There are days when I'm overwhelmed with the world and the circumstances that surround me. I feel lost and alone. It is then, that I cry out to my Heavenly Father for help and comfort.
All through the ages people from all walks of life; kings, prophets, soldiers, lowely shepherds and even Christ himself while on the Cross; have cried out to God. And you know the best thing?
Just like Baby heard Tyson crying and immediately came to him to comfort him....God hears us when we cry out and answers. He comes to us, wraps his arms around us and gives us peace.

| | I think we all have felt like that at one time or another. Sometimes, there is nothing that anyone on this earth can do to make me feel better, even though they try. I have to go to my Heavenly Father to take away the pain. | | | |

| |  God’s Promised Protection
PLACE OF SAFETY or Secret Rapture?
Many believe in a coming secret, supernatural rapture, when Christ will carry away His saints to heaven. But is this what the Bible teaches? God does promise protection—a place of safety. Is this a literal place, located somewhere on earth? Can we know? Horrific prophecies will soon be fulfilled. Vast numbers will perish in the coming Great Tribulation and Day of the Lord. Who will be spared—protected? What does God expect of His servants? The Bible reveals the answers!
1.Will There Be a Secret Rapture?
2.The Promised Place of Safety
3.Who Will God Protect?
Will you prepare now—and be ready when time has run out? Will you submit to and obey God? Will you watch and pray always, demonstrate faith and practice patience, exhibiting zeal to grow and overcome, with your heart totally in the Work of God, having sought out the Church that Christ built?
Will you be protected from the “hour of trial”—from the “snare”—that shall soon “come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth”?
It would take pages and pages and maybe an hour to examine each part from above If you are interested in some great reading use any of the 3 parts or all of them as keywords for Google Search and you will be ready to pass the big exam Good Luck

| | What a convicting response! You layed out the plan of salvation perfectly. (Are you certain you're not southern baptist? lol)
It's not about what's written on the front of the church, but rather what's written on the inside of your heart. | | | |

| |  This was a wonderful devotional. I think Heavenly Father also sends others to comfort us when we pray for help. He may send a neighbor with food when we are hungry or a friend just to visit when we are lonely. He uses those of us who are willing and listening to the spirit to answer others prayers.

| | He certainly does! The key to your comment must be "Willing and listening". too many times in my life, I can look back and see where He sent the answer and I wasn't looking in the right direction to find it. | | | |

| | Thank you for reading it. I enjoy hearing the responses to my devotionals. It's uplifting to me, especially if it is one that I struggled with (like this one) to get on paper what I wanted to say without it being 3 pages long. lol

| |  This is a very touching and timely devotional. I have my days of being whiny, and confused, and not knowing just what I need. I am glad that God is faithful and responds and comforts me when I will let him. Sometimes that is all I need is His presence to make me know that all is okay.

| | It is a wonderful thing to be able to climb up in the lap of our Heavenly Father and have Him hold us. One of my favorite hymns is "Sheltered in the Arms of God" That brings to mind one of the lovliest pictures doesn't it? | | | |
