ICE FORTS and GOD'S PROTECTION

ICE PICTURES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON SPRING VALLEY DRIVE

I ventured out today to take a few pictures on my street.

My neighbor built a really nice ice fort. This is ROL'S FORT.  He moved the chunks of ice from his drive-way and stacked them in his yard to make Rol's Fort.

Also some of the neighborhood "kids" built some forts. Ebony, the cat in the pictures, seemed to think the forts were for his protection as well.

I hope you have had time to enjoy the beauty of God's creation all around us for the past few days. Because of roadway conditions and closures of churches, schools, offices, and business, most people have stayed at home. This has been a great opportunity to read, study, and extra time with family members. I have enjoyed more time to read, catch up on emails and rest.

As we continue our study on the topic of The Christian and Prayer, I am reading a book by Dr. Charles Stanley, entitled "Prayer the Ultimate Conversation".  The following is a quote from this book on page 96.
"Just remember the One who keeps the sun, moon, stars, galaxies, and constellations in their places and who maintains the earth rotating at the right speed, on the correct axis, and with the precise amount of oxygen we need in the air is the One who can communicate with you, regardless of what you're going through. 
If your are having difficulty hearing the Father, or if there is some question you are longing for Him to answer, don't give up. He wants to talk to you.
Keep seeking his face and listening for His call."

My pictures show you the ice forts built by humans from materials supplied by God. We are always looking for protection from elements and our enemies. God does supply all we need and He is our fortress as it is written in the Psalms.
Psalm 91:1-2 " He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
Psalm 144:2 "He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer."
