Our soul waiteth for the Lord:
He is our help and our shield.
Psalm 33:20
God has made a beautiful day. The sun is shining, and it appears that winter has yet to begin...

As I sit at my little desk this morning with a Bible in front of me and my thoughts toward heaven, I am overflowing with feelings of deep gratitude for all God has done for me. My soul is also resting in His goodness while I wait patiently for His purpose to be fulfilled in my life.
And as I sit in quiet reflection, I can recount many of the times when the Lord had provided the help I needed whenever I faced problems and situations that were beyond my control or ability to do anything about them.
God has likewise protected me from many dangers. Not only from the people who hate me, but, moreover, from those who wanted to use me for their own agendas and their own gain.
Throughout my years as a Christian, I've met many a self-seeking individual who has tried to make merchandise of me. Or they've attempted to get gain for themselves by hoping to use my testimony as some kind of springboard for their own fame. The latter group, however, did not try to make money from their relationship with me. Rather, they were seeking glory through affiliation.
But God, in His love, allowed such persons to only get so far before He revealed their intentions and uncovered their true motives. Furthermore, He brought their selfish endeavors to nothing while allowing me to remain safe. Thus, I can say with confidence that Jesus is my helper and my shield.
