Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.

“Security is not the absence of danger, but the presence of God, no matter what the danger.”
“I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.” Ps.16
If I really believe that God’s love for me is without limit and His ability to watch over me has no bounds, then what do I have to fear? I believe both of these things yet I often lose my focus, especially in a crisis. When this happens fear steals the joy in my heart. The key then is to set the Lord always before me-- to take my focus off of my circumstances and fix my hope entirely on His love and power. Reviewing His promises helps with this.
