Names and Needs

Read:  Psalm 144 / Proverbs 30 / Isaiah 4 /Luke 17

Psalm 144:1,2 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war… my fingers to fight: my goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
Proverbs 30:4,5 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?...  what is his name… his son's name, if thou canst tell?  he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Isaiah 4:2,6 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious… and there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

The names of Christ address my needs:
He is my Fortress and my Shield. 
My risen Shepherd safely leads,
And by His stripes I have been healed. 

A Shadow in the daytime heat,
A Covert from the storm and rain,
There is no other name so sweet! 
To live is Christ; to die is gain.
