'Just one touch from you, one sweet glimpse of your promise. Just one word of your promise, and I am fine for a day. Whatever comes my way, rain or shine, I'm under the shadow of your wing, the winds can't harm me, the storms won't hit my residence. And every day I choose again, to come to you to be loved, to be nourished and held in your presence. From the first breath in the morning to the very last at night, my souls yearns more of you, desiring to be one with the Almighty that rules the Earth and all the Heaven. When you breathe your power fills all the land and stretches its arms wide to heal. When you speak the whole world trembles under your presence, every bit of the existing life will know your power. Your word creates and takes away. It speaks into and out of, like a whirlwind comes your answer, no one can face your voice without being moved, no one can hide. When you come all will know your mighty hand moving.
Your whisper is all I need. All that I care for is your key to unlock. Release, prepare and elevate! Make us ready so we can step into your plan unfolding. Darkness can't stand your light. Arrows can't hit your anointed. Winds will strike only under your command.
And you have given us a voice. Your presence dwells within us like a soothing cloud of truth, that rains forever.
How can I not praise you! How can I not lift my hands! Your majesty is all around me, it is like a blanket that covers my being.
To you I give glory. To you I lift up my voice! Come, Holy Spirit, come! Let us make joyful noise!'
Scripture Meditation
"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.'" — Psalm 91:1-2
The Reflection
There is a profound peace that comes from realizing that one word from the Creator is enough to sustain us for an entire day. We often look for complex solutions to our worries, yet your soul knows the truth: just a whisper from the Almighty is the key that unlocks every door. When you choose to step into His presence, you aren't just seeking a temporary escape; you are entering a fortress.
In His presence, the "storms of life" lose their authority over your residence. Whether it is a season of rain or shine, you are covered by a Majesty that acts as a blanket over your entire being. This is not a distant God, but one whose power fills the land and whose breath heals the broken. When the world trembles at His voice, you can stand firm, because that same power dwells within you like a "soothing cloud of truth."
Today, remember that you are the "anointed" whom darkness cannot withstand. As the whirlwind of His Spirit moves, let Him release, prepare, and elevate you into the plan He is unfolding. You have been given a voice—not to complain of the winds, but to lift a joyful noise to the One who commands them.
A Prayer of Devotion
Almighty God, I yearn for more of You. From my first breath this morning to my last tonight, I desire to be one with You. Thank You for being my shelter where no arrow can hit and no storm can harm. I choose again today to be nourished and held in Your presence. Let Your light scatter every shadow in my path. Holy Spirit, come! Fill me with Your power and use my voice to give You glory. I step into Your unfolding plan with confidence, knowing I am covered by Your wing. Amen.
