Listen to this daily worship

Psalm 91: 1-2 (NIV-UK)

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.’

Look to God for safety and protection, says the Psalmist, repeatedly.

God is our refuge and our strength (Psalm 46).

I look to the mountains; where will my help come from? My help comes from the Lord (Psalm 121).

All week we have been exploring the Bible Library, which seems to have many rooms, all open and welcoming, 24/7.

We have found books in some, music in others, refreshment for the journey when we leave, and an open invitation to return.

Nobody has told us to shush.

Perhaps we have needed space and permission to scream and weep – perhaps we have just needed a place to retreat from the busyness and be refreshed for the next day’s work or journey.

Prayer:

Loving God,

thank you for times of quiet,

of Sabbath rest,

of no need to panic,

of quiet trust,

of shelter from life’s storms.

Thank you for the Bible Library

in which we find all these riches,

words and songs,

comfort and reassurance,

rest for our souls.
