“For in the day of trouble, he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
He will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.”
psalm 27:5
even when you don’t feel safe…

He will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.”
psalm 27:5
Oh my – after your last post about trusting, this one fits in perfectly…ah….safety. What a beautiful picture.
That scripture speaks right to my heart today. I’m feeling a little unsafe. Thank you for posting it.
Today I found out some devastating news and have been hurting so so much. I needed these words, in this moment. Thank you very much for sharing.
If you don’t quit posting all these wonderful baby pictures, it may push me to try and get pregnant!
And beautiful Words to go with a beautiful picture.
Emily, I love that photo and scripture, and hope that Jack will grow to see not only the love that we give him but well beyond it to the love of his Heavenly Father. What a prayer for my child in a picture. Love it!
Psalm 27 is one of my favorites, and this photo of yours is perfect to illustrate that fifth verse.
I’ve been thinking a lot about doing some more scripture memorization. The scriptures I know by heart have been such a blessing to me.
With this post of yours to inspire me, I think I’ll start with the 27th psalm. David’s words; Emily’s photos. An excellent combo.
Awh… I have a daughter like that…
I’ve been coming to your blog for a while now & your pictures were always way above normal, but lately they’ve been FANTASTIC! I’m loving the subjects, the placement, the focus, the lighting… I could go on & on! The scripture was also meant for me today. Amazing how our Father works.
I have been wrestling with this very issue of not feeling safe with God. He has allowed traumatic circumstances in my life. As a parent, I can’t imagine standing still as someone abuses my child. I feel that He has done that, and I don’t feel safe with Him. No answer or reason would make what has happened in my life okay, but I turn off my brain and believe that He is big enough to turn even this for my good as He has promised. What can man do to me? Whatever God allows, which is a scary thought. My sole consolation: He has promised to work all things together for my good. Still, I would not wish what has happened to me upon any one. Could this be entering into the sufferings of Christ? Maybe I have suffered so that I will be able to minister from the heart to those who go through similar things. I do not want to experience such circumstances in the future, and I am humbled that He may allow more. I ask Him to remember that I am just dust.
Was going to leave a comment and saw Rebekah’s. What happened to you to make you feel this way must really have being so big. I may not know how you feel but I understand.
When I read about what God allowed the devil to take Job through im order to prove to the devil that Job loved him was so unbearable but it has got to the point that I pray for God not to try me beyond what I can bear.
May you be consoled Rebekah.
