*MDL _~My DAILY LIGHT Reflections_* FRIDAY, 16th MAY *THE PROTECTIVE MERCY _That Sustains You._* Psalm 91:1-4 _*"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and a buckler."*_ Isaiah 43:2 *_"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you."_* *INTRODUCTION* We will end this Categoriy of The Sustaining Mercies with today's theme; The Protective Mercy.

In search of protection, many have turned to flawed sources - fellow humans who are equally vulnerable or, worse still, the devil himself who is man's ultimate enemy. However, my experiences have taught me that God's Mercy is the Ultimate Protection. The Bible affirms this truth, and I have come to realize that trusting in God's mercy is the most reliable way to navigate life's challenges.
