He is the sure Presence in every valley, isn't He? I love what you put - He is our PORTION forever. We need never be hungry or thirsty - He feeds us - and keeps us strong so we can navigate the highs and lows of this life. Thanks for your kind compliments.<br /><br />Toyin - Thanks so much for stopping by. I always appreciate seeing your lovely smile, and your thoughtful comments. May God continue to set your feet on firm ground - giving the blessing of His "surefootedness!"<br /><br />Blessings to you both - hoping you have a WONDER-full Christmas!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-25163801009725793692010-12-18T12:42:02.897-08:002010-12-18T12:42:02.897-08:00Hello Sharon,

I love that 'surefooted'....I couldn't climb out of the depths of the valley without His strength not only in front and behind me - but within me. <br /><br />The JOY of my Lord is my STRENGTH - My portion forever.<br /><br />Blessings for a Merry Christmas to you and yours, Sharon.

His promises are comforting - His presence is strengthening. You've made a great point about being ambassadors. In many ways, we are the face of Jesus in this world - a great privilege and a tremendous responsibility.<br /><br />Toyin - Thanks for stopping by. Yes, God enables us to do so much - and so much more than we could EVER do on our own. He alone is the source of our hope!<br /><br />Lidj - I love that verse also. I'm not sure I could walk at all if the Lord didn't have me by the hand!! I'm so glad you stopped by today (bright and early!!) Thank you for your very gracious comments. I appreciate them more than you know. <br /><br />Joan - Oh dear! Glad to hear your husband is OK. I love the word "surefooted" - and it's exactly what I want to be. The feet that are firmly planted, are the ones that firmly stand! We have a predator chasing us, but God gives us firm footing. We can scale the cliff faces, we can climb the heights!<br /><br />Wanda - Oh yes! Testing is difficult, but so necessary. Spiritual growing pains enable us to develop into mature Christians - who can run with abandon, and run securely.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-74446413613011219512010-12-12T19:56:06.621-08:002010-12-12T19:56:06.621-08:00Amen.

I love the passage you gave and I think I probably saw the same show about the deer. Just as God made them sure footed and able to stand, He enables us to stand firm before the enemy.<br /><br />Great post, my friend.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JoanJoan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-68317089387767650432010-12-12T13:26:05.878-08:002010-12-12T13:26:05.878-08:00Psalm 18 is one of my favorite passages in the Bib...Psalm 18 is one of my favorite passages in the Bible, and you have quoted twice from this psalm.<br /><br />Psalm 18 and 2 Samuel 22 are identical - both contain the same psalm by David.<br /><br />And Psalm 18:36 is a verse that I have come to really love and embrace for it has been true in my life.<br /><br />I love the way you write a your Bible pick em posts - so thorough.

During those times, I sometimes need to remind myself of his promises that he will not leave nor forsake us. It is so comforting to know that. It always makes me wonder how people who don't know him get through the tough times without the hope of him. Makes me want to be more of an ambassador to tell others about Jesus :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
