proverbs 3:1-3

my son do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

this verse resonates with my heart because of the example i see in graham's grandparents own marriage. mom mom and pop pop just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this past weekend. the whole family came down to tenthouse for the celebration. one of the aspects of their marriage that was pointed out over and over again was their faithfulness to eachother -- which overflowed in to other areas of their lives -- he has been a pastor for most of his life and she has been his other gracious half. they are such an example of what a committed marriage in the lord is supposed to look like.

psalm 91:4

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

psalm 18:16-19

he reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. he rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. they confronted me in the day of my disaster, bu the lord was my support. he brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

psalm 56:13

for you have delivered me frmo death and my feet from stumbling, that i may walk before god in teh light of life.

luke 4:18

the spirit of the lord is upon me, because he has annointed me to preach good news to the poor. he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed ...

lord, come be graham's deliverer today. reach down your mighty arm to grab him out of dangereous situations. deliver him from temptations and oppression. thank you for your faithful word. amen
