GOD IS...

The night sky is filled with low hanging clouds -
Not what a soldier hopes for.
The sound of a backfire or the shrill whistle of an "incoming"...
Keeps muscles tense... minds racing...spirits uneasy...

My mind is ever thinking...wondering...praying for you...
That in the midst of your life on the battlefield,
Jesus our LORD GOD would reveal Himself to you...
And bring you strength of body, peace of mind, and a steadfast spirit -
Trusting in His Sovereign Control.

God, He is your REFUGE.
He, Himself is your peace.
Have confidence that HE IS GOD!
And from your striving cease.
(Psalm 46)

God is your PROTECTOR,
As you sleep upon your bed.
He is a SHIELD about you,
And the lifter of your head.
(Psalm 3)

God, He is your FORTRESS,
Your STRONGHOLD and your ROCK!
He is your LOVING SHEPHERD,
Caring for His flock!
(Psalm 18,23)

God, He is your SHELTER,
A place in which to hide!
He guards you in the battle,
And strength He will provide!
(Psalm 91)

So do not fear the terror by night,
Or the "arrow" that flies by day!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
He will direct your way!
(Psalm 91; Proverbs 3:5-6)

Let all who take refuge in God, BE GLAD!
REJOICE! And ever sing!
God's favor surrounds you as a SHIELD,
Be thankful in everything!
(Psalm 5)
