Today's Devotion: Psalm 91:1 (New International Version) - He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]

As long as we maintain our faith, we are under the protection of the Lord. He is our strength and our refuge. There is none other who can help us.

Today's Comments: Yesterday I met with Greg Peters, my Anglican Studies professor. We discussed the current situation with respect to the Episcopal Church. Is the Episcopal Church dwelling in the shelter of the Lord, or do we see its members proceeding in their own direction?

I think that Richard Hooker might say that our refuge can be found in scripture and our vehicle for communicating with the Most High is prayer. Both are important to understand what God wants of us and how to maintain a right relationship with him. If we strike out on our own, without his guidance, we are in danger of falling away from the path that he has set for us.
