In the Shadow of the Most High

Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. 

I have not penned down any of my thoughts ever since my little girl was born a year ago .I was and am completely occupied with her as of now. Many new revelations kept popping up in my heart which were truly helpful for me to grow in the Lord. 

This morning I felt this strong urge to start writing this blog after my morning devotion time.I love listening to gospel music . My cousin gifted me a google home smart display which is my own personal gadget assistant nowadays . The songs  that are played  bring in God's presence and strengthening in my life personally. I have actually the Holy Spirit encouraging me through songs . This morning I was listening to random songs that were being played by Google Home. This song called "Bulletproof"

by Citizen Way started to give way into new unveiling of God's goodness . 

The song's lyrics go like this 

"Your love made a way, now I'm not afraid

No matter what the world may say or what they do

I am bulletproof because of You, because of You"

My morning devotion had a passage from Mathew chapter 2 where we read about the Magi visit the messiah ,the newborn king Jesus . The Magi came from faraway land learning about Jesus the King . The saw the star and wanted to shower the newborn king with their gifts and bow down in adoration .Here comes the wicked king Herod who desperately wanted to get rid of Jesus the everlasting king . He secretly inquires about the time of the appearance of the star so device plans to visit this child and actually kill it. He slyly asks the Magi to report back to him with the details for carrying out the execution . Miraculously Father God protects His son by warning the magi to go back to their land through a different route.

Even when Herod killed all the baby boys aged below two , Father God alerted Daddy Joseph through a dream and carefully safeguarded his son .Such is the father's love for His son . The devil tried to break the divine plan of salvation for mankind but the heavenly Father Lord got rid of every barrier to fulfill His redemption plan . Nothing could stop the saviors's master plan .He was  and is indeed victorious . We are made bulletproof to the strategies and schemes of the devil through the Blood of Jesus Christ. No one can lay hands on you . You are His beloved . 

God is faithful and an everlasting father . He is able to accomplish what concerns you today . Amidst the chaos and hopeless in this world , you are protected and safe in the Savior's arms . Cheer up !  You are held in His palms . You are the apple of His eye. 

Shalom Blessings 

Protected on the Perilous Nile

I know its a long time since I wrote my last blog. So I made up my mind to pen down my thoughts -today whatever comes my way.

Kids are all at school, busy with the new academic year. They must be striving hard to fulfill their dreams.Older kids would have joined new colleges ,found new friends, settled down with life at dorms. This is just a little list ,but there is much more we really don't know.

As kids have their own duties to do at school or college, parents have their regular fears and worries concerning the child's future ,safety and lot more. I believe every normal parent would at least think about their child once when they are away from them. As a parent I know that we have our own trepidation with respect to our kids.

I was going through Exodus chapter 2, God helped me understand that He is one who protects and preserves us amidst of all the dangers and traps in this world.

We read about baby Moses afloat on the death dealing river Nile.Nile. Jochebed,mother of Moses put Moses into a papyrus basket coated with pitch and tar to prevent the wood from rotting due to water corrosion. How much a mother's heart must have been heavy while casting away her  baby son on the river Nile.

I was trying to find out from the google about the river Nile.The information I got from the web was spine-chilling.

The Nile river has treacherous rapids and large rocks which makes traveling dangerous.The oppressive heat can lead to dehydration and fatigue.It is the habitat for the world's deadliest alligators,crocodiles and snakes.

The tiniest mosquitoes  found on the river can cause fatal diseases  like malaria and skin sores.It is the house of varieties of sand flies which are carriers of various parasites .No one could return alive after an expedition on the Nile.

Isn't it terrorizing ?? I was totally petrified after reading about the Nile.

Still The God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob was gracious indeed to protect and preserve the little baby Moses from any kind of danger on the devouring river Nile.

Psalms 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength,A very present help in trouble

He is our shield and shelter in the time of storm.The God who protected Moses amidst every dangers encompassing Him on the Nile,Is the very same God who will safeguard our children wherever they are .Though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death,His Grace will cover and guard them. Our children are marked and covered by the blood of the lamb. No evil shall befall them.

May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard our minds and hearts through Jesus Christ 

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;.
My God, in Him I will trust.”;.
Psalms 91:1-2
