He who dwells in the shelter of The Most High



This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it......On this morning at 10:20 am my favorite cousin Ashton J. Bridges past away... He was only 24 years young! He lived a great life...although it was filled with heartaches, pain and sorrow. He learned that the greatest LOVE of all is God and in Christ Jesus. My cousin loves the Lord and he demonstrated that much in his life struggles to live the best he could pleasing unto God... He touched the lives of many and he will never be forgotten.. I have learned to cherish every moment of the lives of your loved ones for you never know the day or the hour they will depart. Most High I will forever praise your name.. I honor you even still-You are worth of all my Praise!
AJB you will be truly missed...This Psalm is dedicated to you...
**************************************************************************
Psalms 91He 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 .. Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you, You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked ... If you make The Most High your dwelling--Even the Lord, who is my refuge--then no harm will befall you, no disaster will near your tent For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone..

You will tread upon the lion and cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says the lord "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him, with long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

Peace and Blessings
AJB I love you cuz!

SPIRITUAL MINDED:da daily devotion for da hip-hop generation
leave ya feedback and let us know what you think!
Snippet of the Intro.....
Hip-Hop has been around for well over 30 years now. We have doctors, lawyers, teachers and preachers who are hip-hop heads. We have generations who grew up on nuthin but hip-hop. I am a hip-hop head, a grown-up hip-hop head, but a hip-hop head all the same. A professional hip-hop junkie and I am also a Christian, who has given his life to Christ and is thankful God gave his only Son, so my sins are forgiven and I may have eternal life. Like Deitrick Haddon, I so thankful God still hears a sinner’s prayer.


EVERYTHING I AM

Man, here we go again. everybody sayin' what's not for him
everything I'm not, made me everything I am…
people talk trash, but when it hits the fan
everything I'm not, made me everything I am
Everything I Am - Kanye West
You ever doubt yourself because of your shortcomings? This is a common thing. Are you constantly reliving the mistakes of your past and preventing yourself from success in the future?

Maybe you have a limited education, you have a jail record, your family is poor, and people have messed over you all your life? Now that the economy is slow and everything you used to do as a side hustle has dried up it hard to eat these days.Whatever has held you back in the past doesn’t have to limit where you go from this point on.
The good news is you can move past the scars of yesterday. God never consults your past to determine your future. So stop looking at where you have been and start looking at where you are going. Stop advertising your pain. Stop concentrating on your short comings. There isn’t a person walking God’s green Earth that doesn’t have some sort of limitations.
We all have handicaps so to speak one way or another. Some are financial, some are emotional or mental, and some are physical. But the bottom line is we all have short comings.

Trust His power and hold on. He will give you the strength to keep from falling - Isaiah 40:31.
Success is to be measured not so much by the positionthat one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T. Washington- Up From Slavery (1901)
The smart person builds on their strengths and works with what they have instead of letting their weaker aspects prevent them from reaching their goals. A questionable background, a jail record, a limited education and being born on the wrong side of the tracks shouldn’t be an excuse from charting your own course.
Is your past preventing you from moving forward in your present and succeeding in your future? It’s important to remember the past is over and concentrate on your future.

Let God pull you up by His power (Ps. 54:1-4). Then, hold on to His hand. Cling to Him and “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” -Ephesians. 6:10.
The best thing about the futureis that it comes only one day at a time. - Abraham Lincoln©2008

Embrace God's Love

I am going to start taking advantage of the usage of this site and all it's components..
So here we go!

Embrace God's Love

In life we so often times search for love in all the wrong places ... If we were to be truthful to ourselves and others we could admit that even through all our searching we still feel a void!
May be you haven't ventured into this search for what some call love. Maybe for you it is a conquest for fame, wealth, a decent socioeconomic status... Whatever the case maybe when you come to terms with it, though you may succeed, there is still that void lurking.

Well let me let you in on a little secret there is one who can fill the void like no other.. If you accept him he can take you to a place where your longing will be edfied with the fulfilling of his spirit. The best part of this is that it is an eternal gift..not just for the moment but for a lifetime.
I believe in a higher power than myself.. this power resides within me every day for I have recieved it.. He is the Alpha and Omega, I AM, The Lord of Lords, The TRUTH, The Light, he is God.. All by himself being an entity of three.

The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit... The Trinity. My Savior is The Christ-Yeshua
My rock .... For some you may have searched all your life for the perfect man or woman, career, business venture etc.. Look no further for here lies the answer to all you questions if only you would Embrace God's Love ... This is truly the beginning to an eternal life of Victory!

God's word is quite evident and quite refreshing love covers a multitude of things...
1Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is Patient, Love is kind. It does not envy it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, it always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...Love never fails.

God is Love and Love is God
Truly if you are to embrace God's love you shall recieve all that comes along with his love...
Allow yourself to be filled within in every way Embrace God's Love

Peace & Blessings
