It's Umbrella Season!

Join our conversation!Let’s Journey Together and spend a Moment with Father. I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here.  How often do you open your umbrella?I carry a small just-in-case umbrella in the car. Sam and I love getting on the road for our next adventure. As I’m reminded by my coffee mug this morning, the fun thing is that “Life is my favorite adventure,” and it’s not 100% planned.Sam and I know where we’re headed and what we’d like to accomplish, yet the weather can be unpredictable. Therefore, we are always prepared with two umbrellas. The collapsed one on the floorboard and the Holy Spirit in the backseat.Truly, the Holy Spirit is our spiritual umbrella.When the pain pours down, He comforts us.When the heat of anguish comes, He protects us.When showers of confusion roll overhead, He brings peace.When enemies abound, He is our shelter. "The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night" (Psalm 121:5-6 NIV). I’ve learned not to leave either umbrella in the corner thinking, "Oh, I'm sure I won't need this today." I depend on the physical umbrella for shade and as a barrier from the rain. The Holy Spirit serves to nudge, alert, and protect me throughout the day. How about you? Life is an adventure, so let’s not journey unprotected. We open our spiritual umbrella by recognizing how the Holy Spirit cares for us.The wind will blow. The storms will come. The Sun's heat will be scorching. And through it all, the Holy Spirit watches and cares for us. How is the Holy Spirit caring for you and your family? Let’s journey together. Holy Spirit, thank you for the blessings and protection covering me today. Help me know where to go, what to do, and when to do it. Guide my every step and shade me from harm. Remind me of who You are in me so that I may walk mindful of Your presence throughout my day. Hallelujah. Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22 May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.Staying Real Just Got Easier!Discover Your God-Designed PersonalityFollow Linda Goldfarb on FacebookLeave a comment for Linda and HeatherCheck out Linda's BooksCheck out Heather's Books
