Country Church Music - From the Heart

Greetings dear friends and family,

My journey to church Sunday morning was uneventful. The roads had been cleared of last weekend’s snow, so travel was easy. The journey home was quite different. While we worshiped, the wind had caused fallen snow to drift across the highway. In the open where the wind blew freely, the road had become snow packed and very slick. Yet once I began my decent down a hill not far from church, the road was clear. The trees and hills had sheltered the road from the wind.

Without warning, the winds of life can blow across the road upon which we journey. Suddenly, what once was a clear route has become slippery and dangerous. But there is hope. There is a shelter waiting for us where those winds cannot reach us. It is when we take refuge in God that we find shelter from those winds. There we can become renewed and empowered to face whatever blows our way. No wind is ever too powerful for God. He is our fortress, our rock.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:1-2

Let us pray: God of refuge, enable our hearts to see that it is when we dwell in you we will find the strength needed to face the winds of life and that as we move forward in faith, with you at our side, nothing is impossible. In you everlasting name we pray. Amen.

With love from the heart,

Diane
