Power Displayed

It's the weekend before Thanksgiving and my heart is filled up with the sights and sounds of the week gone by and my eyes lift upward toward my King!

As I select the words to describe God's power displayed in the last 54 hours my hands reach for my bible and the description I'm searching for jumps off the page -

"I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains?
No, my strength comes from GOD, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.
He won't let you stumble, your Guardian God won't fall asleep.
Not on your life! Israel's Guardian will never doze or sleep!
GOD's your Guardian, right at your side to protect you -
Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke.
GOD guards you from every evil, He guards your very life. He guards you when you leave and when you return, He guards you now and He guards you always."
(Psalm 121 from Eugene Peterson's paraphrase "The Message")

This past Tuesday night during our Naomi's Daughters program we witnessed God's presence in our midst as the psalmist describes above. The enemy of our souls arrived in our midst uninvited. His intent was for evil; to bring divison and confusion. God's intent was for good; that His power and authority would be displayed without question, in order that unbelief would be turned to belief!

Dear friends, reviewing these recent events gives greater meaning to
Psalm 105:1 - "O give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples."

May we never forget - it's my prayer
