Shadow of the Almighty
Duane Bemis
Psalm 11:1
1994
UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY
AS I PICKED UP MY PEN TO WORSHIP MY LORD, HE CARRIED ME IN THE SPIRIT AND STARTED DIRECTING MY HAND AND MY MIND. HE STARTED BY GUIDING ME TO HIS ROYAL MANUSCRIPT:
"IN THE LORD I TAKE REFUGE, HOW THEN CAN YOU SAY TO ME FLEE LIKE A BIRD TO YOUR MOUNTAIN." PSALMS 11:1 (NIV)
GOD ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF KINGS WAS MINISTERING TO MY HEART SAYING, "DO NOT FLEE. DO NOT BE SCARED, FOR I AM WITH YOU. DO NOT FLEE FROM THE ENEMY, BUT LET ME BE YOUR PROTECTOR, YOUR DEFENDER, AND YOUR DELIVERER."
AS I HAVE GONE THROUGH SO MUCH THESE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, MY GOD HAS TAKEN ME BACK TO 1973, WHEN I WAS BEING TRANSFERRED FROM ONE MILITARY BASE TO ANOTHER. HE KNEW HOW MUCH I WANTED TO FLEE FROM THE DESTRUCTION--THE NIGHTMARE OF MY PAST.
WHAT WAS THE TRUTH OF THAT COLD AND FOGGY MORNING, FEBRUARY 16TH, 1973? I WAS TIRED; I WAS SLEEPY, AND IN MY HEART OF HEARTS I KNEW I PROBABLY FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL OF MY VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, MY TWO YEAR OLD SON, ANDREW DUANE BEMIS, DIED. MY UNBORN DAUGHTER, NICOLE LYNN, WAS ALSO KILLED. BUT THIS TIME THROUGH THE MEMORY OF MY ACCIDENT, MY GOD WAS ABLE TO TELL ME, "MY CHILD, MY CHILD, DO NOT FLEE THIS TIME. PERCH UNDER THE SHADOW OF MY WINGS, UNDER THE CROSS BEAMS OF THE CROSS; FOR YOU ARE MY CHILD OF ROYAL BLOOD--SAVED FOR JUST A TIME AS THIS, FOR MY GLORY."
IN THE SCRIPTURES, I REMEMBERED THAT IT STATES:
"KEEP ME AS THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE; HIDE ME IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS"
PSALMS 17:8 (NIV)
MY LORD WANTED ME TO DEAL WITH THE GUILT WHICH HAD SECRETLY DRIVEN ME FROM WITHIN. I RAN FOR NEARLY TWENTY YEARS BEFORE I CAME TO THIS POINT IN MY LIFE. I WANTED MATTHEW 5:8 TO BE TRUE:
"BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART, FOR THEY WILL SEE GOD." MATTHEW 5:8 (NIV)
OH, HOW MY HEART WANTED TO SEE GOD AND BE COMFORTED! I ALSO KNEW I NEEDED TO FIND OUT HOW TO MOURN THE LOSS F SOME TWENTY YEARS; AND MY LORD'S WORD SAYS:
"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MOU ...
