A Morning in His Shelter ☀️
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:1-2
As you begin your day, remember the profound peace found in God's presence. To 'dwell' means to intentionally make your home in His shelter, not just visit. When you choose to abide with the Most High, you are promised rest under His Almighty shadow. He is not just a distant power, but your personal refuge and fortress. Declare your trust in Him today; let Him be the solid ground beneath your feet.
Prayer:
Lord, I rest in Your shadow and trust in You today.

🕊️ Embrace the Freedom of Forgiveness!
And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
This verse isn't just a suggestion; it's a divine pattern for our relationships. Just as Christ unconditionally forgave us, we are called to offer that same tenderhearted grace to those around us. Forgiveness isn't about excusing someone's actions, but about releasing the burden of bitterness from our own souls. It's a courageous act that liberates your spirit and opens the door for God's peace to reign within you.
Lord, help me to extend the grace You've shown me to others, freeing my heart.
