Security That's Secure

The Lord is my rock
and my fortress and my deliverer;

My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.

Psalm 18:2




Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge,
your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd,
your counselor, your friend, your redeemer,
your savior, your guide?
If He is, you don’t need to search
any further for security.
~ Elisabeth Elliot ~

 
To my dear blogging readers....  I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break from blogging for awhile.   I am very appreciative of all the emails, comments and encouraging feedback you give me.

Please be assured I have every intention of returning.  In the meantime, you can find me on facebook **here**   and you can find previous devotions I've written for this blog all in one convenient location **here**.  


I'd encourage you to visit the blogs of some of my friends.

Vee ~ A Haven For Vee

Stephanie ~ The Enchanting Rose

Naomi ~ What Joy is Mine


Natalie ~ Delightful Details

Karen ~ Papercraft Memories

Karen ~ Word Art Wednesday


Always remember that: 

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.  Psalm 46:1

I hope you have a wonderful rest of the summer.

  6. Dear Abby, You have been such a blessing to me-a fellow pastor's wife, lover of Gods' Word, art and music! (Did you know that we both live in New England as well?!)

    I had closed my blog again because I realized I was still not quite ready, so I understand the need for some time away!

    I may be opening it soon, but am unsure.

    Have a blessed break and enjoy these fleeting summer days. They are always so short here in the North, aren't they?! :)

  18. For whatever reason, the Lord laid you on my heart this morning. I prayed for you, but also wanted to stop by your blog to simply say HELLO and let you know that you are loved and appreciated, and that you're on my heart today. You have been a blessing to me from the day we met, and I will forever thank our precious Savior for bringing you into my life. God bless you, my friend.
    Hugs,
    Karen
