Verse for the Day
Psalm 91:1-4 KJV “He that
dwelleth 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 will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the
snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover
thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his
truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
Song for the Day
Beneath
His Wings
There
is a safe and secret place,
Beneath the wings Divine,
Reserved for all the heirs of grace;
O be that refuge mine!
Beneath the wings Divine,
Reserved for all the heirs of grace;
O be that refuge mine!
Chorus:
He
that dwelleth in the secret place,
In
the secret place of the Most High,
Shall
abide in the shadow,
In
the shadow of His wings.
The
least and feeblest there may bide,
Uninjured and unawed;
While thousands fall on every side
He rests secure in God.
Uninjured and unawed;
While thousands fall on every side
He rests secure in God.
He
feeds in pastures, large and fair,
Of love and truth Divine;
O child of God, O glory's heir,
How rich a lot is thine.
Of love and truth Divine;
O child of God, O glory's heir,
How rich a lot is thine.
A
hand almighty to defend,
An ear for every call,
An honored life, a peaceful end,
And heaven to crown it all!
An ear for every call,
An honored life, a peaceful end,
And heaven to crown it all!
~ Henry F. Lyte
Song
Suggestion: When I was a child, I learned this hymn from singing it at church,
using the Church Hymnal songbook. If you have access to that hymnal, turn to
song #484 and sing it from the book. (And while you’re at it, show some little
people in your life how they can place a paper over the front cover of the
Church Hymnal and use a pencil to rub over the center embossment there and end up
with a neat picture of a harp in a circle.)
COVID-19 Prayer Focus
The Makers
of Equipment (to help battle COVID)
If you’re
like I am, you’ve been hearing about companies that are donating items and/or
services for aiding the medical community in their fight against the coronavirus.
Housebound individuals are sewing caps, gowns, and masks to donate to medical workers
on the front lines. There are many more examples of people who are putting in
long hours making much-needed equipment during this pandemic. Let’s pray for
them.
God is to be adored for: His All-sufficiency
Pic from Then
There’s
something about a bright, dandelion-studded, apple-blossomed spring day that
lures the littles out of doors. Looks like Rolin was pulling for his younger
brother in their play on this particular day.
Pic
from Now
I
haven’t yet mastered the skill of taking selfies, but I gave it my best shot
this morning. I wanted to portray my delight in hanging up laundry outside for
the first time this year.
Activity Idea
When you see the color green today, think of something
that Jesus is growing in you (hope or patience, for example?) or maybe something
that you wish for Him to grow in you, and talk to Him about it.

Thanks for sharing that verse Danette! I've always loved that Psalm, but it's taken on special meaning during this time. I had to smile as I was typing your name here, remembering how several years ago you taught me in Sunday school to always call people by name! Thanks for those lessons, I still treasure them.
ReplyDeleteAww, that's special, Brianna! I had forgotten that I specifically mentioned the name thing in Sunday school. It's wonderful to know that those lessons hold benefit and meaning for you.
