Day 42

SHADE

The Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
Psalm 121:5-6

FROM THE FATHER'S HEART
My child, can you feel the heat? An irate employer, heavy family demands, physical limitations that threaten to dry up your stamina? From morning until night, you can rest under the shade of My love. You will find your joy restored as you take time to remember all I have done for you—and all I will do in the future.

A GRATEFUL RESPONSE
The sun's rays cannot harden my heart or parch my joy as long as You are beside me, Lord. Even in the nighttime, Your hand is a shade from the cold and a light in my darkness. Your presence reminds me daily that I can rest quietly and confidently in You. Thank You, Lord.

SIMPLE TRUTH

Sometimes what we need most is simply to rest.
