Salvation

Hey all, thought I should update. It has been a while, thanks for the prompt Rach : )

Since I last posted, God has been teaching me about his salvation. It's really funny coz when you usually think about salvation you think about being saved and becoming a christian. But I have been learning about the daily salvation from the little things that happen every day that make you frown, from spiritual attacks, from myself haha, from anything and everything. I can't really explain it other than that for the past couple of months, my "life" has been totally awesome, I couldn't have a thing to be upset or complain about, but during all this I feel like I have been absolutely clinging to God for dear life. Like I physically and emotionally actually haven't been able to do anything without him.

I really really love Psalm 91 at the moment. I change all the "him"s to me and I. It's really powerful when you feel like you're goin crazy and you say it out loud.

He(or She) who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest under the shadow of the Almighty
I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; in Him I trust
Surely He will deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover me with His feathers, and under His wings I will find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness will be my shield and rampart
I will not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
Nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me.
I will only observe with my eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
If I make the Most High my dwelling - even the Lord, who is my refuge - then no harm will befall me, no disaster will come near my tent.
For He will command His angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways;
they will lift me up in their hands, so that my foot will not strike against a stone.
I will tread upon the lion and the cobra; I will trample the great lion and the serpant.

"Because she loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue her; I will protect her, for she acknowledges my name. She will call upon me, and I will answer her; I will be with her in trouble, I will deliver and honour her. With Long life shall I satisfy her and show her my salvation."

When I feel like I would shatter into pieces if someone pushes me, or even breathes too hard in my direction. When I feel so fragile for who knows what reason other than I'm a girl, He's there. I don't surprise Him, He's not in therapy. haha. Whatever condition I come before him in, whatever side of me he gets each day, He will always embrace it with arms wide open. He just wants me to turn to him. He will be there to pick up the pieces, even when I have zero clue as to what on earth is going on in this crazy heart of mine and even less control over what to do about it.

I don't even know if that makes sense. lol.

"And they shall live with His face in view, and that they belong to Him will show on their faces." -Rev 22:4-5
