Verses that inspire


Let me say first that I'm not the reckless type.

Not the jump-out-of-the-airplane or the climb-this sheer-rock-face type.

But a recent stop to "smell the roses" made me think of some verses from the Psalms......

I enjoy stopping on our travels to see small gems, places tucked away that are interesting for one reason or another. Cars and trucks whiz by and very few stop to see what it is that makes this spot interesting.
A small road-side pull off offered a view of a lovely (albeit small) waterfall, and I prevailed upon my long-suffering husband to stop. We carefully walked up the trail to catch some breathtaking views of the water cascading across the boulders into the small pond below. It would have been a much smaller waterfall usually, but the recent rains had caused a larger volume of water to flow through. There were slippery spots in the trail; the rain had just stopped an hour or so earlier. We were careful where we placed our steps, and enjoyed seeing the work of God's hands.

It got me to thinking; I remembered some wonderful and inspiring verses:
He will not let your foot slip—    he who watches over you will not slumber; (Psalm 121:3)
he has preserved our lives    and kept our feet from slipping. (Psalm 66:9)
Are we feeling alone? Are we lonely?
Our Savior loves and cares for us, and is always with us . . .
 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:29-31)
