00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: Life Audio. Thank you for listening to your Nightly Scripture,

2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: a calming Scripture Center devotional podcast designed to help you

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: end each day with God's word in your mind and

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: on your heart. Right after the short word from our sponsors,

5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: we'll reflect on Tonight's scripture Psalm ninety one. Tonight's scripture

6
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: reflection is written by Rachel Britton and read by Lea

7
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Gerard Psalm ninety one. Whoever dwells in the shelter of

8
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

9
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: I will say of the Lord. He is my refuge

10
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Surely

11
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: he will save you from the fowler's snare and from

12
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and

13
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: under his wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness will

14
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the

15
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

16
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the

17
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at

18
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it

19
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: will not come near you. You will only observe with

20
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If

21
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: you say the Lord is my refuge, and you make

22
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: the most high your tar, no harm will overtake you.

23
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: No disaster will come near your tent. For He will

24
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: command his angels concerning you to guard you in all

25
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: your ways. They will lift you up in their hands,

26
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

27
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: You will tread on a lion and the cobra. You

28
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: will trample the great lion and the serpent. Because he

29
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: loves me, says the Lord. I will rescue him. I

30
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will

31
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: call on me, and I will answer him. I will

32
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and

33
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: honor him with long life. I will satisfy him and

34
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: show him my salvation. If your day has been burdened

35
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: with stress, or you feel overwhelmed with fear, then Psalm

36
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: ninety one invites you into the shelter of the Almighty One.

37
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: His protective covering is all inclusive. As you desire to

38
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: dwell with him, settle down in the presence of God tonight.

39
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: With these assurances. Your trust in God means you have

40
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: nothing to fear. Not a single detail of your life

41
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: is left exposed. You are protected from the visible and

42
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: the invisible, that which is within and beyond your control.

43
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: You can overcome all that looms like a ferocious lion,

44
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: and that which is as small and slippery as a snake.

45
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: God's safekeeping is around the clock, for nightmares in the

46
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: early hours or criticisms in the working hours. God's refuge

47
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: is for dangers you see ahead and those that attempt

48
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: to hold you back or sneak up from behind. You

49
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: are sheltered from that which falls out of nowhere and

50
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: anything that might trip you up. You are protected from

51
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: the person out to snare you and from a pandemic

52
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: that affects us all. Even God's angels guard you from

53
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: spiritual enemies and physical dangers that affect your home. However,

54
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: when trouble does come your way, be reminded that the

55
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: God who covers you becomes your companion. He walks with

56
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: you every step of the way in your suffering. For

57
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: God is the almighty who saves you, satisfies you, and

58
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: stays close to you. These are often the times when

59
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: God blesses you most. As you go to sleep tonight,

60
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: let these words be your prayer. Almighty God, I will

61
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: choose to believe you are my refuge and my fortress,

62
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: my God in whom I trust. Thank you for covering

63
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: every aspect of my life, that which I'm aware of

64
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: and that which I have no notion of, with your

65
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: loving protection and care. Thank you that you're safe keeping

66
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: last for this life and the life to come. Thank

67
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: you that even though I may walk through troubled times,

68
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: this does not mean you've stopped caring for me. Instead,

69
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: you walk with me as a friend and a father,

70
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: and those times reveal more of who you are to me.

71
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: So I may praise your name. Amen. Thank you for
