Blog-tember Daily - 9-21-15

Another of the Blog-tember Challenge posts!  Linking up with Bailey Jean and catching up - 







Today's prompt is:

 Quote/Expression
and How it has impacted You

Throughout the years, I have read many quotes; and have been touched or impacted by them ... at that moment when they were read.  But, none have stayed with me as this one has ...

What I share today is a portion of scripture from the Psalms that was part of a devotion shortly after a most traumatic time in my life.  I have shared both the event and the scripture in other posts on my blog ...

Today I share the verses again that meant so much to me following an attack in 1998.  I spent many days and weeks and month - possibly even years - trying to over-come the trauma, physical injuries, fear, trust, even being alone in a place where I should not have felt fear or any of this!

I looked to the scriptures, to God, and to His healing power, and he showed me these verses from Psalm 116; the Message Bible version says:

I love God because he listened to me,

listened as I begged for mercy.

He listened so intently

as I laid out my case before him.

Death stared me in the face,

hell was hard on my heels.

Up against it,

I didn't know which way to turn;

then I called out to God for help:

"Please, God!" I cried out.

"Save my life!"

(Psalm 116:1-4 The Message)

And that is what I share today for a "quote/expression that has impacted my life"!
