Corona Devo 1094

My husband's grandpa used to bring doughnuts over when he would visit the family, and somewhere along the way, a tradition formed in which the adults and children in their family would "hide" their extra doughnut of choice--out of sight from others, often in a high place.

Fast forward to today, where (surprise, surprise), my children (and husband) will "hide" things of value (including a preferred doughnut) in high places, like on top of the kitchen cupboards or the refrigerator.  

This idea of hiding a doughnut high and out-of-reach seems silly, but the concept and functionality of placing a highly valued item out of reach on a high area is smart, proactive, and protective.  It also demonstrates how highly treasured the item being "hidden" is.

Remember today how much God loves us and the lengths that He will go to in order to protect us.

For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary.  He will place me out of reach on a high rock.  ~Psalm 27:5

~~~

Had a hard day?  Running on fumes?  Feel targeted or hopeless?  

God is with us today.  When troubles come...he conceals us.  

When troubles come...he hides us in his sanctuary.

And, when troubles come... He will place us out of reach on a high rock.  (Psalm 27:5)

Trust Him today.  Rely on Him today.  Rest assured today...

For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary.  He will place me out of reach on a high rock.  ~Psalm 27:5

~~~

God chose you.  We are His people.  We are His treasured possession.  He values us highly and He protects us fiercely.

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession...  ~Deuteronomy 7:6

~~~

God's love for us is everlasting.  We cannot outrun it and we don't need to earn it.  It just is.  God's love for us is everlasting.

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.  ~Jeremiah 31:3

~~~

If we are facing hard things today, we face them with a mighty savior.  He is here, He values us highly, and he will calm all your fears.

For the Lord your God is living among you.  He is a mighty savior.  He will take delight in you with gladness.  With his love, he will calm all your fears.   He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”  ~Zephaniah 3:17

~~~

Tonight my husband blessed us with apple fritters for dessert.  I kid you not...when finishing the kitchen clean-up before turning out the lights to another day, I happened to glance up...and there was someone's fritter...out of reach on a high rock (Psalm 27:5).



Remember today how much God loves us and the lengths that He will go to in order to protect us.

For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary.  He will place me out of reach on a high rock.  ~Psalm 27:5

At work, we provide Trainings for customers, so that they can be updated and educated on all of the latest features (and how to use them) within our product.  Many companies do this--sharing "Best Practices" are a way to ensure positive outcomes on the customer and vendor sides of things. My kids often offer me "life hacks" that they have learned from watching an online video promising to "save time" and "make your life easier".  And just this week, my husband enlightened me about the "tear-away" feature built into most plastic rings holding cans/bottles of pop or Gatorade together.  When separated, the plastic rips open easily, releasing the bottle--saving wildlife that might be caught if it is discarded as trash, and saving me  frustration or angst because I no longer have to pull with all my might to get a bottle out of the plastic rings.  ( Who knew? )  Life hacks do save time and make your life easier! Who couldn't benefit from

The unanswered “why’s” of life, the disorder of our days, and even the unfairness of our struggles can cause us to question ourselves and also to question our God. But the order-of-Creation and the systems that God has set in place are undeniable answers that swing back and forth like God’s pendulum-reminder that He set the world in motion, and He continues to keep order, even when it seems as if we and our world are in dis- order.   Job was a man going through some heavy and hard stuff.   Maybe we are too.   Job’s trials had caused him to question the order of life, and possibly God’s dominion over it.   We can relate.   The “Why’s?” and the “Why Me’s” can stack up in our minds and hearts, but like a parent exercising loving-authority over a child, God reminds Job and us--of His power, omniscience and of His ultimate authority over everything: Creation… and us today .   Then the  Lord  answered Job from the whirlwind: (2) “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ig

Running low on " good things " today?  Doesn't it (sometimes) seem like/trend like/read like/tweet like/water-cooler-chat or backyard-fence-visit like/intimidate like/depress like... there are no  good things in the land? . I know. It's no secret that many have abandoned  the Law of the  Lord,  and at times, that's us .   It is evident all around us that people have  followed each other  in this sin.  When we look around...or when we live our days...we can wonder: Are there  any  good things  left in the land? There are still some good things in the land ...and no matter how bleak we feel the "forecast" for today is...there will always  be  some good things in the land, because God is in the land.   T he Bible reminds us of that today.   ~~~ The Israelites (and their king, Rehoboam ) were God's people, but like all of us at times/seasons of our lives...they wandered from Lord and His ways.  They relaxed in their allegiance to the Lord, and then the
