Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time.
He quieted the wind down to a whisper, put a muzzle on all the big waves.
And you were so glad when the storm died down, and he led you safely back to harbor.
So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves.
Psalm 107:28-31, The Message
May you find safety in the one who rescues from troubles; the one who places you in the quiet of His embrace, whispers love over the shout of despair.
Peace this Sunday as you worship, friends.
Also linking with Fresh Brewed Sunday, Scripture & Snapshot, and Still Saturday. Take a moment to visit these blogs, you will be blessed.
Absolutely fitting……bless you!
So glad to know that!
What a beautiful set of photos. 🙂
And also with you!

SO beautiful… reminds me of when my husband was stuck in the middle of a lake with a storm over his head and he had to ‘row’ his boat back to shore. The dog jumped out and headed to shore before my husband could get there.
What a great picture of rescue you just gave me Sharon.
What a beautiful post. I love the photos you used for illustration; simply beautiful.
Thanks Debbie. I took those on the shore in Georgetown, SC after eating a nice lunch with some friends. A storm was on the way that day, it was blustery and cold.
Shelly, these are perfect photos.
I kinda wish He wouldn’t wait until just the nick of time before getting me out of some of my desperate conditions. 😉
I know Sandra, me too.
Oh…so beautiful, hopeful, peaceful. What beauty woven in word and image!
So glad that resonated Cindee. It’s the way I felt too. Nice to meet you through Sunday reflections.
wow. I have never read that in The Message translation before! Note to self…
“So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves.”
Beautiful.
Wonderful post, Shelly! Thank you so much for sharing!
I know Nikki, me too. I read it in the NLT first and then out loud to my husband in the Message and we both loved it.
Hi Shelly,
Good to meet you today! Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog, so I could come visit you.
I’m so thankful that God quiets the storms in my life so I can make it through!
Blessings,
Laura
Laura, so glad you have you join this little community and it was nice to visit your place too! Love these link-up opportunities, don’t you?
I’ve always loved this passage =)
God truly does bring us back to safety, to our harbors.
This is beautiful my friend. Simply beautiful.
Just in time for me!
Beautiful Shelley, thank you!
All good things.
The Message Bible takes familiar verses and seems to personalize them, just for me. Yes, just in the nick of time. Love the photo story. Thank you.
I know Maureen, I often feel the same way. Glad you like the photos. I took them on a blustery day last week, very quickly. The sky, hidden under the clouds made the colors look so cool.
I love the mix of calm and power here… the quiet calm of the photos in contrast to the awesome, loving power of our God… just lovely…
Thanks Thelma, love your perspective!
AMEN! Lovely photo and Word with unity and harmony, building one upon the other. A blessing.
Joanne, thank you. It’s so amazing to me how He puts it all together for me as I am doing it.
Lovely combo of verse and pictures. Don’t you love those blustery days by the ocean?
Diana, so thrilled to see you here. I see you around the blogosphere and Facebook and what a joy to have you visit. Yes, I do love the blustery days, the sunny ones and the ones in between!
Perfect photos with that passage!
Thanks Cheryl, lovely to meet you. I see you on the comments of blogs I follow and on Facebook. So glad you stopped by.
