Jodieblunt - yes, it is good to meet a Warrior for Jesus. Thanks for being one; your edifying words and encouragement have been helpful to me! Your impact brought a few scriptures to mind: Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Ephesians 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Jodie, When I read your testimony, it was as if this jumped off the page: "... KNOW THAT HE IS A PLACE OF REFUGE..." Earlier today I happened to read Psalm 91. Mind you, I have read it many many times in the past. This day as I read it, something seemed to stand out that I never noticed before. (I will print the verse, and use all CAPS where it filled my heart with amazing truth, like never before!) Psalm 91 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS MY REFUGE and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: HIS TRUTH SHALL BE THY SHIELD AND BUCKLER. THOU SHALT NOT BE AFRAID for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. BECAUSE THOU HAST MADE THE LORD, WHICH IS MY REFUGE, EVEN THE MOST HIGH, THY HABITATION; THERE SHALL NO EVIL BEFALL THEE, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. BECAUSE HE HATH SET HIS LOVE UPON ME, THEREFORE WILL I DELIVER HIM: I WILL SET HIM ON HIGH, BECAUSE HE HATH KNOWN MY NAME. HE SHALL CALL UPON ME, AND I WILL ANSWER HIM: I WILL BE WITH HIM IN TROUBLE; I WILL DELIVER HIM, AND HONOUR HIM. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation." Psalm 91:1-16 Thanks for the reminder, Jodie! God really really really is GOOD!!!
