The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Faith Journey (1)" Bible Reading: Psalm 91:1-9 for Thursday, 8 September 2016
Psalm 91:1 You who live in the shelter of ‘Elyon,

who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai,

2 who say to Adonai, “My refuge! My fortress!

My God, in whom I trust!” —

3 he will rescue you from the trap of the hunter

and from the plague of calamities;

4 he will cover you with his pinions,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his truth is a shield and protection.

5 You will not fear the terrors of night

or the arrow that flies by day,

6 or the plague that roams in the dark,

or the scourge that wreaks havoc at noon.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand;

but it won’t come near you.

8 Only keep your eyes open,

and you will see how the wicked are punished.

9 For you have made Adonai, the Most High,

who is my refuge, your dwelling-place.

Today and for the next few days I will share with you how I learned about Jesus and how my faith has grown through the years. I call this my "Faith Journey."

When I was little, I had terrible nightmares. My grandparents came to visit us in California. We went to San Juan Capistrano to watch the swallows that came there every year. My grandma took me to the chapel there and bought me a picture of Jesus. In the daytime, the picture looked normal. But at night, the picture glowed in the dark. This picture gave me comfort and peace at night.

I loved looking at that picture of Jesus, and that was the beginning of my faith journey. My grandma taught me about Jesus, and later my parents took me to Sunday School where I learned more. 

Our Bible verses today teach us that God is our place of safety and that we can trust Him to protect us. Trust God today to take care of you and comfort you.[DF]

"I say to the Lord, 'You are my 

place of safety, my fortress. 

My God, I trust in you.'" [Psalm 91:2]

PRAYER: Dear God, You have always been with me, and I know that You will be with me today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
