[1] While it was still dark this morning, my husband, Bobby headed out with a group of fellow CBC-ers for a ten-day trip to the Holy Land. So now it’s just me and the little dude, holding down the fort!

Whenever we are apart I am reminded how I need to always entrust my husband (and anyone) to the Lord. I wish I would remember to have this attitude on a daily basis. I guess when he is gone it seems easier to worry about circumstances yet to unfold or be anxious that I cannot determine the details or be scared about all of the “what-ifs”. But it is so foolish to act this way if he is home or away when I know that I can entrust him to the Lord, because He has planned every detail and will bring it to pass for His glory.

This morning a friend sent me Psalm 91:1-2

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

I love this picture of the intimate protection we have when we trust God–dwelling in His shelter and resting in His shadow. That’s where I want to be!

If you would like to follow the Compass Israel trip with me, Bobby will be posting blogs, pictures and videos daily at the [2] Compass Bible Church website. I would also appreciate your partnership in prayer for the group, that it would be an enriching time for them all to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
