The Song Of The Lord Releases His Protective Power.

Gods presence is always a game changer. His entry into a room, situation or relationship, quickly changes things. I can remember when I had just moved to a very rough section of Oakland California,

and at that point, public transit was my primary means of navigating through some very hostile territory. Although while living there I experienced some tense moments, I also have to say I consider it the best place I have lived with some of the greatest people I have had the privilege of meeting in my 66 years on this earth. I actually wanted to move back there and had the opportunity this year but, the Lord said NO! But now I must continue with my original thought. There were days when I found my self in some precarious situations but what always changed the environment was a simple song to the Lord and all of a sudden, there was peace calm and serenity. It was as if I had suddenly been transported from a place of chaos, tension, and stress to a private Gondola floating down a Canal in Paris. There was a quiet hush and a feeling of serenity would fill the atmosphere and the bus would suddenly become a place of peace and rest not only for myself but for my fellow passengers as well. This still works for any environment I find myself in were God calls for a shift in the atmosphere. Gods presence is an ever active force to be utilized at any time to bring a shift from the natural realm into His spiritual realm. Don't leave home without Him. Our God is an ever-present help in times of trouble. Amen!
