WHAT IS GOD TO US?

 

Psalm 18:2

 

 

"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." NIV

 

 

"The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." KJV

 

 

The world has all kinds of security and protection plans to help us feel secure. We buy insurance to cover losses to our property and our lives. We buy warrantee plans in case something we purchase is defective. Even with all this type of security, there is none that can compare to the awesome and infallible power of the protection of our God. He will deliver us from trouble, keep us from trouble, stand between trouble and us, and hide us beneath His wings. He will deflect the fiery darts of the evil one and crush the army of Satan. There is no such peace and security that comes from this world.

 

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us when we allow ourselves to become anxious and fearful of the enemy. Help us to remember that You are our source of security that will never fail. Help us to use our gift of faith You have given us to stand secure in Your almighty presence. In Jesus' name, Amen.

NO ONE CAN HARM US

 

 

Hebrews 13:6

 

 

"So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals to do me?" NIV

 

 

"So that we can boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." KJV

 

 

We live in such a frightening and unstable world. It seems reasonable that fear is on the rise and running rampant, even for Christians. But, as Christians, we have this sure hope: Our God is forever watching over us, going with us through all things, and taking care of any circumstance that Satan means for our harm. There is no reason for us to fear anyone, be it world leaders, people in authority, or the people next door, because the Lord is our Helper and is on call 24/7 and for eternity.

 

 

Heavenly Father, how thankful we are that we serve a God who is constantly watching out for us and helping us get through this life. Help us to exercise our faith to conquer the fears that come on us because of the way the world is. We pray this in the name of our Lord Jesus, Amen.

HE WILL DELIVER US

One of the major reasons many of us are weak in faith is that we do not allow our encouragement to come from God. Rather, we should do as David did. He acknowledged that God delivered him and his sheep from wild and dangerous animals. How much more will God deliver His people from evil enemies of God and men?

Heavenly Father, we pray that we would draw encouragement from you as we recall the times you have rescued and protected us in the past. In Jesus' name.

Read 1 Samuel 17:37

"The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. Saul said to David, 'Go, and the Lord be with you'" (NIV)

"David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee." (KJV)

WE PREVAIL BY GOD'S STRENGTH

As children of God, we can have confidence that the Lord will guide
us on His path and keep us from falling. He will take care of us.
Unbelievers, those who are not His, He will cause to be helpless,
confused, and of no effect. Evil cannot overpower our omnipotent
(all powerful) God.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that you will always protect us and
guide our steps. We humbly worship you and acknowledge that you
are all powerful and that no thing can defeat you. In Jesus' name.

Read 1 Samuel 2:9

"He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced
in darkness. It is not by strength that one prevails." (NIV)

"He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in
darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail." (KJV)
