Day 11- Shelter from the storms
In times of trouble, we must pray and take refuge “under His wings.â€
Today’s Scripture
“He who dwells 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 I will trust.’ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.†—Psalm 91:1-7
Additional Scripture: Psalm 23:1-6
Reflect on the Word
Tragedies, traumas and triggers consistently remind us of how unpredictable and dangerous the world can be. Yet, the Scriptures regularly point us back to God, whose care and compassion invite us to rest under the shadow of His wing and experience the presence and protection of the one who “never slumbers or sleeps†(Ps. 121:4). Though we experience difficult seasons, we do not have to fear that we face it alone because God is our “ever-present help in trouble†(Ps. 46:1).

4. The Candlestick
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The next piece of the Tabernacle was a seven-branched golden candlestick. The fire represents the Holy Spirit and how we are called to be light in the world’s darkness.
2The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. ISAIAH 11:2
When Jesus left the earth, Christians were given the gift of the Holy Spirit. God calls the Holy Spirit our “Advocate.†We cannot do what He has called us to do without His supernatural power. It is through His Holy Spirit that God comforts us, guides us, and empowers us.
Pray that you will operate daily in the Fruit of the Spirit: (Galatians 5:22-23)
• Love
• Joy
• Peace
• Patience
• Kindness
• Goodness
• Faithfulness
• Gentleness
• Self-control
Pray that God will give you the Gifts of the Spirit: (1 Corinthians 12:4-11)
• Wisdom
• Knowledge
• Faith
• Gifts of Healing
• Working of Miracles
• Prophecy
• Discerning of Spirits
• Different Kinds of Tongues
• Interpretation of Tongues
