Mobile du jour:
As the mountains
       surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD
       surrounds His people,
from this time forth
                 and forevermore.

          Psalm 125. 2

(On all sides,
in every dimension,
even in this.
Maybe especially in this).

As the LORD lives,
Who has redeemed my soul
    out of every adversity...

                1 Kings 1. 29

(God is still God.
He is guiding me
          even through this,
   for His glory.
He is not about
       to abandon me now.
My help is in the name of the LORD,
    Who made heaven and earth. (Ps 124.8).
Nothing is too big for Him,
nothing insignificant in His eyes).

But the king said to Araunah,
"No, but I will buy it of you
              for a price.
I will not offer burnt offerings
            to the LORD my God
which cost me nothing."

                      2 Samuel 24. 24

(Kindness is spare change,
grace and forgiveness
  are the most expensive watches
  in the case,
faithfulness to God
   sees something very different
   than the price tag:
          love You more than this).

This God is my strong refuge,
and has made my way safe.
He made my feet like hinds' feet,
and set me secure on the heights.

                     2 Samuel 22. 23-24

(No matter what,
no matter where,        
                 trust Me.
Even here.
Even in this.
"It never occurred to me
      to trust the LORD about this."
The LORD lives.
    Nothing random at all.
And that changes everything).

...and you shall be
               My witnesses
in Jerusalem
and in all Judea
          and Samaria
and to the end of the earth.

                   Acts 1. 8

(Everywhere,
 to everyone,
 in every thing.
Even here.
Even now.
Even in this most unexpected place.
           Faithfulness to Him).

He said to them,
"Cast the net on the right side of the boat,
              and you will find some."
So they cast it,
and now they were not able
                to haul it in,
for the quantity of fish.

                        John 21. 25

(My way
         or God's way in this.
It matters.
It matters a lot).

If you forgive the sins of any,
            they are forgiven;
if you retain the sins of any,
            they are retained.

                   John 20. 23

(Forgiving is not
letting someone getting away
                 with anything,
but releasing you
                       from prison.
My chains are gone
I've been set free).
