As for God, his way is perfect.
The Lord’s word is flawless;
He shields all who take refuge in him.
For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?
It is God who arms me with strength
And keeps my way secure.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
He causes me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
My arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You make your saving help my shield,
And your right hand sustains me;
Your help has made me great.

Photo Backstory: I put together some iconic shots from 9/11 and added the Emerson quote to show our heroes that we will never forget what they did that day.
An ordinary man
Good morning, Renee! Beautiful Psalm, and I love Emerson’s quote with the picture. It reminds me that God will give me all the courage I need.

Thanks, Kathleen. I’m always glad to “see” you here. Blessings!
Hero’s are not movie stars or singers… they are ordinary everyday people who do something extraordinary.

Hi Renee…reading the psalm helped me start the day off….with Him in our corner….there’s no worries….ever.
Thanks for this reminder, Nikki! I’m glad you came by this morning. Blessings!
“5 minutes longer.” I think those 5 minutes must happen because of love — no greater love than that which causes us to lay down our lives for our friends.
Beautiful words, Jen! Thanks for adding them to this. Blessings!
I love God’s promises here…
He shields…He arms me with strength…He keeps my way secure…He trains my hands for battle…He sustains me with His right hand…
Same here, Laura! I love how He gives us even more than what we need. Blessings!
Yes, He’s our Rock, all we can trust and rely upon… especially in those difficult and dangerous stages of life. He is It. Good thinking/sharing/reminding.
Thanks, Joanne! Loved the pics you shared today also. Blessings!
Perseverance can mean just “5 minutes longer” ~ May these heroes know God’s presence.
