A Snapshot of Faith: Trusting in God’s Promises


I signed on to the computer this morning not knowing what to share. As I scrolled through previous messages – “A Secret Place” popped up.

I was riding in a car with my granddaughter and saw a homeless man carrying a backpack. This man transported a cat on his back as he walked. I don’t know if dogs were after the cat or if he was sick. Regardless of the situation – this man and cat were walking in agreement.

I took a picture with my phone to capture the moment. When I look at this picture I see love, intimacy, and relationship. I see fear abolished. I see the Word of God come alive. This snapshot reminds humans of a personal relationship with the Lord. Lord I believe Your promises in Psalm 91.

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalm 91:1-16
