Shield Against Darkness

This God--his way is perfect; the promise of
the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all
those who take refuge in him
Psalm 18:30

No day is too dark and no burden too great
For God in His love to penetrate
And know and believe
        without question or doubt
That no matter what happens
        God is there to help out.

I right now think of a person and a burden they are facing and how appropriate this poem would be in their life.  They are facing a heavy load, certainly must be asking, why me?  and yet we are reminded that God is there and he cares about their circumstances.  What are you facing today that seems impossible and that God isn't hearing you.  I don't know why he is saying wait in your life, I don't know what he is saying in your inter most being, I can only pray for each of you and then wait as you do to see and hear his answers.

Father thank you for this day, thank you that you are here and with us, guide our steps this day, what we say and what we think and our attitude, forgive us when we aren't focused on living our life for you.  Draw us to your side and minister to the needs we face.  In Jesus Name. Amen

Yesterday was a different day, a teacher absent and her students in my study halls, so I had to get them to do some work.  Play doesn't work for study halls.  They had too much valentine candy, so a bit hyper.
