Morning Psalms 26:7
Noon Psalms 5
Evening Ephesians 5:20
When I think of what it feels like to receive a hug, I would like to be like a baby held in the arms of one loved one after another. Every day, I like to receive sincere hugs from my dear friends and beloved family. Likewise, every night before bed, I look forward to a tender hug from my husband that makes me feel loved and safe. Some studies claim that a hug helps calm the nerves, relieves tension, and strengthens self-esteem. Many people do not receive them in their childhood from their parents or caretakers, and this lack of affection can adversely affect their emotional health throughout their lives.
From the beginning, our good God has held us in His protective embrace. He took the people of Israel out of Egypt with a strong arm and outstretched hand. Jesus Christ said to His people, “How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings…” Today, we have the outstretched arms of Jesus on the cross, beckoning us, waiting for us to take refuge in Him and feel His warm and tender embrace.
In the arms of Jesus Christ we are safe.

Morning Psalms 26:7
That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Your wondrous works.
Noon Psalms 5
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield
