wisdom...

It was a typical Monday night with the ladies I meet with to open God's word and be challenged,
sharpened,
held accountable........ 
 
 
well with one exception...
 
 Jamie brought her grandmother!... when they walked in I KNEW I was in the presence of wisdom... I sensed meekness (which BTW the Lord is STILL working with me on that).... she was precious!.. we gathered in our bedroom and all 4 "young ones" hopped on the bed and grandmother scooted in as far as she could on her chair!...
it was soooooo sweet...
we opened in prayer then we read on "sin"... we read and every now and then I would hear her say "amen" ... we turned the pages in the bible and I actually got teary just praising God that an 82 year old was so into reading the scriptures...
 
we finished the chapter and were just confessing where we all fall short and she piped in and said, "I want to encourage you ladies when you wake up in the morning to read Psalm 91, oh and make it personal!!!, you will be blessed.."
 
after everyone packed up and left I was thanking God that he brought so much wisdom in our home and thankful that Jamie had such a great grandmother!
 
 
here is Psalm 91... you will be blessed!
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.
