WHY ALL THE TROUBLES HERE?

  Psalm 121:7,8 

"The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore." ESV 

 

The Word of God says that He will never allow harm to come to us. Then why does Jesus tell us that we will have suffering and trials in this world? Why do we have all kinds of problems and heartaches? The answer is not about worldly things. God will always and forever protect our souls from harm by the evil one and never allow us to perish with the unrighteous. That is true no matter what happens to our physical bodies on this earth.

 

 

Heavenly Father, we praise you for making the way for our full assurance that You are guarding our souls from harm for eternity. We ask that you help us to live with faith in this world with it's trials and struggles. We know we will be kept safe for eternity. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

SUPER POWER

 

1 Samuel 2:9

 

"He will guard the feet of his faithful ones; but the wicked shall be cut off in the darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail." ESV

 

If we are true children of God, we can have confidence that He will guide us along every step of the way and will keep us from falling. Those who do not belong to Him, will find themselves in the end to be helpless, confused, and lost. Neither evil nor the efforts of man can overpower the omnipotent God Almighty.

 

Heavenly father, we thank You for Your eternal protection and guidance. We humbly worship You and acknowledge that there is no power greater than You. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

SUFFER WITH HOPE?

 

 

2 Timothy 1:12

 

"Which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me." ESV

 

The Lord told us that if we follow Him, we will suffer all kinds of problems and trials. There is no shame in this suffering, only joy in suffering for Him. The suffering is temporary. We trust that the Lord will keep all that we have given over to Him until we are with Him in eternity.

 

Heavenly Father, O how many times we forget that we are living in a cursed world, enemy territory. We are surprised that terrible and difficult things come into our lives. Help us to stay strong and remember that You will take care of us and everything we have committed to You. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

NO FEAR HERE

 

 

2 Thessalonians 3:3

 

"But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one." ESV

 

Even unbelievers admit that lawlessness and evil has been unleashed in this world. There is no escape from it, except to call on the Lord and trust Him. He has promised He will watch over us. We can fully trust Him to take care of us. There is no other person or entity that can be trusted, only our God, Him only.

 

Heavenly Father, how we praise You for being God, who never leaves us or forsakes us. We take comfort in knowing You are will us always and will protect us from any evil that seeks to destroy our souls. Let us have open hearts, clear eyes, and wisdom to know You are here and we don't need to be afraid. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
