Dr. Johnson's Devotionals 2011

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. (Psalm 36:7)


An antarctic emperor penguin was found on a New Zealand beach sometime in June 2011. How it reached there remains a mystery because its home is around 3000 kilometers away. It had swallowed sand which it mistook for snow which penguins eat to hydrate themselves during winter. Doctors at the Wellington Zoo flushed its stomach by doing an endoscopy and removed most of the swallowed sand. The penguin was in the wrong place and had done enough unknowingly to almost die.


Some of us tend to be like this penguin, going awry, landing up in the wrong places doing things detrimental to our own lives. But for the unending compassion and mercy of God, we would have died. We must remember that the everlasting love of God is that which sustains us through each day of our lives. Lets trust in Him to guide us each day and pray for His divine protection at all times.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." (Psalm 91:1, 2)
