Corona Devo 3048

One of my favorite experiences to enjoy is being in direct-line of the sun, and closing my eyes, and letting that red-bright-powerful-warm light hit my closed eyelids and my open spirit.

For me--in my tiny mind and hopeful-heart for Jesus: I feel that He is with me in these direct-sun moments. (God is always with us, of course, and the Bible tells us that: "surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.  ~Matthew 28:20).  

But sometimes...some days...and in some special moments, when the sun shines through my window and I'm doing Bible study, or when I'm driving and the sun rises or sets in front of my windshield...or anytime that the sun shines bright over me: I also feel like God is shining into me.

Thank you, Lord for the sun, and thank you, Lord for Your Son.  Amen.

In these moments, I feel covered.  Safe.  Protected.  Loved.  Known.  Peace.  
I feel God in those direct, bright sunlight experiences.

Psalm 125 does that for us today. 

Let the powerful light and truth of these verses shine into and over our soul and spirit today.  

Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. 

(2) Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever. 

(3) The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. 

(4) O Lord, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. (5) But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord.  Take them away with those who do evil. 

May Israel have peace!  ~Psalm 125:1-5

~~~

Trust in the Lord today.  

He won't let us be defeated today.  

The Lord surrounds us today with His Word and His protection, just like mountains encircling a city.  Mountains do surround Mount Zion in Israel, and God did that in order to protect Israel.

The Lord gives us His Word (Psalm 125) today to remind and demonstrate and prove that He protects us today.  He surrounds and guards us today.  And His Word (Verse 2) says that He will surround us both now and forever.  Thank you, Lord.

~~~

Close your eyes.  

Can we sense and feel God's light?

Let's feel God's love shining over us and into us through Psalm 125 today.

Feel covered in Christ today.  We are.
Feel safe in Christ today.  We are.
Feel protected in Christ today.  We are.
Feel loved in Christ today.  We are.
Feel known in Christ today.  We are.
Feel peace in Christ today.  He gives it.  

Psalm 125 and our Lord do all of this for us today. 

Let the powerful light and truth of these verses shine into and over our soul and spirit today.  


Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. 
(2) Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.
(3) The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. 
(4) O Lord, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. (5) But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord.  Take them away with those who do evil. 
May Israel have peace!  ~Psalm 125:1-5

It’s never too late to turn to the Lord.   And--it’s never too late to turn back to the Lord.   Do we GET IT?   King Hezekiah GOT IT.   The people in his area (Israel) had not been following the Lord, and they had fallen away from the (God-ordained) traditions that the Lord had designed to connect His people with Himself,  like going to church (Temple), and like celebrating the festival of Passover.  So they sent a proclamation throughout all Israel...inviting everyone to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover of the  Lord , the God of Israel. The people had not been celebrating it in great numbers as required in the Law ( 2 Chronicles 30:5). Hezekiah  invited the people back to church!  But how to get the word out? He  wrote letters of invitation to the people (2 Chronicles 30:1), but letters without delivery are dead messages.  Hezekiah needed to get the letters ... to God's people! At the king’s command, runners were...

Ever been around boys (of any age)?  They don't concern themselves with talking about   other  boys...they are not (usually) comparative that way, and would prefer to be competitive instead.  They are often contented with jokes and sounds, rather than defaming other guys or discussing their shortfalls. But...ever been around women ( of any age )?  For some sinful reason, our conversations often seem to p ick-a-little, talk-a-little, pick some more and talk, talk, talk about other women.  We  simmer into a boil as we digress and regress into unbecoming chatter about   other  women.   It's a terrible habit and yet girls in elementary school don't need to be taught how and even elderly church biddies can't quite fully withdraw.  We all still fall to condemning others  from time to time.  We have this sinful draw to make ourselves feel good by chirping back and forth and making someone   else   feel bad. It's na...

The earth is the   Lord ’s, and everything in it.   The world and all its people belong to him.   (2)  For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas  and built it on the ocean depths.   ~Psalm 24:1-2 We belong to Him, but also…our world belongs to Him: and  everything in it .   Everything.   Every tree and flower, every person, every pelican, everything. How are we responding to that glorious Truth today?   Can we praise Him today?  Can we acknowledge and absorb (and respond!) to the awesome Truth that we belong to Him :  the Creator of all things, and our Creator?   He laid the earth’s foundation ...and (even)  the earth  knows that it belongs to him ... Do we? Are we choosing to respond to Him today?   The trees do.    Looking out my window as I read these words of God, I saw these words  proven by God as n aked tree-branch arms were raised in praise of their Creat...
