We are meant to walk so closely in fellowship with the Lord that no matter what happens,

the thing that we know are absolute unshakable is that we are loved by God.

That is immunity.

That is, it doesn't mean that it protects us from ever getting hurt.

It means that there is no hurt that comes to us that makes us conclude we are unloved and unknown and

unnoticed by God. That somehow we are held in that place. Am I making sense to anybody in the

house today? It's a that place. Am I making sense to anybody in the house today?

It's a beautiful place.

And in fact, I'm not sure that we can know the intimacy of it, the preciousness of it, unless

we know what it's like to be in that place and be in pain and be in peril and somehow,

unexplainably feel completely loved by God.

Isaiah Isaiah 492 says this.

He made my words like a sharp sword.

He hid me in the shadow of his hand.

He made me like a sharpened arrow.

He hid me in his quiver.

Isaiah 51.16, I have put my words in your mouth and covered you in the shadow of my hand in order to plant the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion,

you are my people. To his people, he says, I have held you and covered you in the shadow of my hand all right do do your do your

precious hand just cup it like this and do it until now cup it until you can see in any way you

have to turn it to get it with a lot make a shadow in it you see it and so he's this picture is I'm

going to set you right there. So where have we gone?

The shadow of the Almighty, the shadow of this wing, and now seen right there.
