Under his wings

What a beautiful and glorious place to be.  Me and Tony were just spending some time in the word together and I flipped over to Psalms 91 and God revealed so much to me.  Last week I did a study of Ruth by Jon Piper ( go to his website and listen it is awsome) and he talked about how got uses what we consider stumbling blocks to protect us.  We see them as set back and inconveniences but they are Gods special way of protecting us.  VS 4: "He shall cover you with His feathers, and His wings you shall take refuge."  I realized that is where I have been this week.  I could not understand why God would allow me to go through such pain and keep me home from work when we are trying to get ready to leave and I need to work and everyone needed me!!! ( my flesh talking of course ) Today he gently reminded me that I was being protected.  I don't know from what.  It may have had nothing to do with me at all but he needed me home this week.  Maybe he kept me from getting in a car accident, or hurting someone else in one.  May Visions needed me gone for some reason.  I don't know and I don't think I ever will but he knew that the only way to keep me home was to make it impossible for me to go to work.  He also wanted to make sure he got my attention.  Remind me to slow down a little and get my priorities strate.  My job requires a lot from me and I don't always put it in the place in my life I should.  I needed to step back and realize that I have limits and I have to come home and live a different life.  I can't live my job.  It is amazing though.  I am feeling so much better today.  Haven't had near as much pain and I am getting the feeling back in my leg.  I guess what ever he needed me to stay away from I did and now he is sending me back to where he wants me.  When you are facing a stumbling block and it is frustrating and you don't understand remember God sees EVERYTHING and know what he needs to do to keep you under his wing and protect you.  You are were God wants you to be.  That is always under his wing in the shadow of the Almighty.
