i really feel this psalm from my heart now, after narrowly escaping the quake disaster by a mere 4 days. for those of you who don't know, i was walking on patong beach exactly where the huge wave crashed in just 4 days ago. i even watched my cab driver running from the wave on a video broadcasted on CNN!! (fortunately he was half laughing so i assume he's safe now.) as pris rightly describes, God's angels held back the quake while i got home safely. praise God for He is my God, my refuge and my fortress. will write a testimony soon, after i've got my fill of revelling in His love.
psalm91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD , "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-
even the LORD , who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD , "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
every so often, i ask Him: "what is it that makes You love me so much? am i not just one amongst billions? are we not just clay in Your hands? Why didn't You just erase the mistakes and create new perfect ones all over again?" what can it be?
and then after a while He floods me with the awe of it all. that He sent His Son down to die for me, His clay, something He created. and i am so overwhelmed by His love that i don't need to know the reason anymore. all i need to know is that He loves me so, and that's that.
