Day 33: In Jesus, I Am Sheltered in the Shadow of the Almighty: He is My Refuge and Fortress!
A God wise enough to create me and the world I live in is wise enough to watch out for me. And thus, the safest place in all the world is in the will of God, and the safest protection in all the world is the name of God.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.
