Today God says:
"I will keep you safe"
He promises me:
"The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but safety is of the Lord". (Prov. 21:31)
My response to the word:
God is my place of refuge; He is my safety. I will walk in the safety He provides throughout this day. Safety is protection from harm, and God is my Protector. In fact, He promises me, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me, your rod and staff they comfort me".
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for being my Shepherd who protects me, feeds me, guides me, and keeps me safe. I put my life in your hands, realizing that you always take good care of your children.
Today's scriptures:
"My salvation and my glory depend on God. God is the rock of my strength, my refuge". (Ps. 62:7 GW) "You are my refuge, my own inheritance in this world of the living". (Ps. 142:5 GW)
Quote for today:
The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us. (Unknown)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".

On 8th September 1807, Lydia Baxter was born at Petersburg, New York. She and her sister were converted under the preaching of a Baptist, Reverend Eben Tucker. Shortly afterward, the two sisters were largly responsible for forming a Baptist church in their home town. After marriage, Mrs. Baxter moved to New York City where she carried on Christian activities despite being bed-ridden. Among those activities was the writing of Christian poems, one of which became the well-known hymn "Take the Name of Jesus with You." She died in New York City in 1874.
