Pinions and Shadows

I have this blog. I'm supposed to write my heart here. Sometimes what is going on in the heart is just too private, too painful, to share with others. Sometimes the pain involves other people so I must respect their right to privacy. Our family has been hurting -- alot. But we have a God who is walking through this with us. I am sad, but not in despair. I KNOW God will bring good out of this.

In Psalm 91, it says that we can run to him like a chick runs to it's mother and hides underneath. His pinions are covering me. He is my fortress - which means a place of safety from which to do battle. We are definitely in a battle for our children. The psalm also says that as I abide in Him, I will be in His shadow. He is good and working good out of what is happening. How do I know this? Because He has always been good to me, and has always brought good out of bad. He will do it again. I'd rather be no other place than under His pinions and following in His shadow.
