Covering

Last week the pool where I swim was closed so that they could put the big dome covering over the pool for the winter. Today was my first day back swimming and as I flipped over onto my back to swim backstroke, of course I saw the huge, white dome cover, arching over the pool. I've seen it for years, but today, the Lord spoke very clearly to me: "I'm your covering, I'm your protector, I'm your defender, and just as this pool is "hidden" from the elements outside, so I will keep the harmful elements from you as long as you remain under my covering." Sweet message and promise!
