Psalm 91 1. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2. I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

3. Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Magnifying Our Master -- JesusMyJoy, 06:59:52 01/17/06 Tue [1] (cpe-24-208-161-138.columbus.res.rr.com/24.208.161.138)
Read:2 Corinthians 11:23-28

I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. �2 Timothy 4:6

As a man of unwavering steadfastness, the apostle Paul had a fixed ambition. He spelled it out in his letter to the Philippians: "Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death" (1:20).

No matter what Paul might be called upon to suffer, no matter what hardships he might undergo, he was determined that his life would be a means of magnifying Jesus. And without flinching, he held tight to that determination through peril, pain, and imprisonment, and even willingly offered his body as a sacrifice.

Some of us may not be able to see how Jesus could be magnified in our bodies. We may think that it can be done only during times of persecution for our faith. But that is not the case.

Our hands can magnify the Lord as we write letters of encouragement. Our feet can magnify Him as we go on simple errands of helpfulness. Our voices can magnify Him as we give our testimony and sing His praises. Our hearts can magnify Him as we express in prayer our love for the redeeming Christ. Our ears can magnify Him as we gratefully listen to sermons exalting His grace.

If we know Jesus, we can lift Him up to others in our daily lives. �Vernon Grounds

Take my will and make it Thine�
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart�it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne. �Havergal

You are one of a kind�designed to glorify God as only you can.
