Grace Silvera is the international marketing director for Red Stripe, a role that has expanded since recent management reorganisation at Jamaica's favourite beer manufacturing company. The job keeps her busy at home and abroad, so she needs to constantly seek God's guidance in her travels.When she requires more than her own strength, her favourite passage in the Bible is Psalm 91:1-2, that read:

"He that dewelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in Him will I trust."

- King James Version

For Silvera, the words give her a calm assurance that the storms of life only rise to test her fortitude, make her strong and push her into His perfect will for her life. But her first responsibility is to dwell in complete obedience, so that His divine shadow will cast a protective armour around her.
