Psalm 91:1

I dwell in God’s shelter
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty."


Who is your dwelling place?
Throughout the storms of life, God provides for us a shelter.  That shelter is Himself!  When you are in relationship with Him through His Son Jesus, God's presence is with you always (Matthew 28:20).  He reminds us here that He is the Most High AND the Almighty God.  His power and authority far surpass all others.  He is the Creator of all; the King of kings and Lord of lords. This verse reminds us that whenever we consider God, we first need to remember who He is.

Knowing who God is is the first step to enter His shelter.  God is holy and He has made it very clear that our only means of approaching Him is through His Son Jesus (John 14:6).  Jesus is the door to God's presence.  If you have asked Him to be your Savior and Lord, the door is open to you and God invites you to take refuge in Him!  What it means to "dwell" in God's shelter is to posses a personal,  ongoing relationship with God.  Know that He is your loving Father and you are His son or daughter.  He provides for you and will take care of you all the days of your life. In response, you love and submit to Him as He leads you.  When (not if) you make mistakes, He is ready to forgive you and welcome you back with open arms (1 John 1:9).

Another way to picture dwelling in God's shelter is living your life with Jesus as your King.  As part of His Kingdom, you are literally dwelling inside His castle!  When you are in His place of refuge, know that this is where you can stay and abide. Some Bible translations translate "abide" as "rest."  When you know and believe the truth that God is indeed with you always, you can truly rest in His presence at all times.
Does this describe you or your desire to live? The door is open. Come to God in prayer and enter His shelter.  Abide in His truth and love and you will find rest for your soul!

From my heart,
Ursula

God's Word

    As I look back over the last ten years of my life and back to that moment when I memorized Psalm 138:8 in 2003, “ The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever, do not abandon the works of Your hands .” (NIV ’83) I’m reminded of one thing that remained constant throughout those years: God’s word. As I was pursuing various career paths, jobs, classes, businesses, and relationships, one thing remained the same: God, His enduring love, and the faithfulness of His word and His promises. In the midst of all we go through and all we encounter in life, God has given us the unshakable and unchangeable truth of His word. God’s word is truth that endures forever because by His very nature, God is eternal and unchangeable. Jesus said: “ Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away ” (Matt 24:35, NIV) The apostle Peter quoted Isaiah: “ All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the ...

The Keywi Symbol

Beauty in nature reveals the artistry, creativity, and goodness of our Creator. Kiwi fruit is not just delicious to eat, but forms a beautiful starburst pattern when sliced in half. This is just one example of how we know and experience God’s goodness!  Psalm 34:8 encourages us to “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” (NIV) Just as God’s gift brings nourishment and delight to our senses, every set of Keywi™ cards made for this project is designed to be both beautiful and provide nourishment to the soul. As with any fruit, a kiwi begins as a tiny black seed. Planted in good soil with proper watering and light, the kiwi can grow into a vine and bear fruit.  Just as Jesus taught in the parable of the sower, my prayer is that the seeds of God’s word would fall on the good soil of your heart, producing in you a fruitful and abundantly fulfilling life. Bearing fruit requires that we remain in Christ.  ...
