FREE INSURANCE

 
Psalm 18:35
 
"You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great." ESV
 
To have the shield of God's divine protection is to be safe in His care though all trials and tribulations. Our God gives us His power and courage to stand strong in the face of danger. There is nothing we have done to deserve this kind and generous favor of God in our lives. It is only because of His great love and grace toward us.
 
Heavenly Father, we can never earn or deserve the favor You lavish on us. We can only offer our lives to You as witnesses of Your mercy and grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.

THE PLACE EVERYONE WANT TO BE

 
Nahum 1:7
 
"The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him." ESV
 
The Lord knows who His children are; those who seek Him earnestly and are committed to Him. For those, He is the all powerful protector, the ever present sanctuary of peace and safety; the One who knows all and has walked before us to make the way through any trial or tribulation.
 
Heavenly Father, we thank You for being the loving and merciful God You are, who protects us and allows us to share in Your victory against those who would try to harm us. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

PROTECTION OUR SECURITY

 
 
1 Corinthians 1:8
 
"(our God), who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." ESV
 
What a comforting fact. He will give us all that we need to come into His presence with clean hearts. With God, there is always that one requirement that is repeated over and over in His Word. If we endure, faint not, don't give up, keep running the race, stand strong, overcome, endure, stay alert, do not be deceived, and keep, stir up, and guard our faith.
 
Heavenly Father, what an awesome God You are to give this eternal security to the likes of us. Help us to remember that our part is to keep the faith and endure in a world that keeps battering our faith and to stand strong against the enemy who seeks to devour our souls. 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.

WHAT'S FEAR GOT TO DO WITH IT?

 
 
Psalm 56:11


"In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?" ESV


The greatest hindrance and disabling factor of our success in the Christian walk is fear. Fear can so overpower our faith and keep us from being effective witnesses and from growing spiritually. This fear can be as simple as a rejection by family and friends if we bring up spiritual matters. We have brothers and sisters around the world who suffer much worse than peer rejection for their faith. They lose more than their pride. Anyone who would reject, ridicule, injure, or even kill us for our faith only touch the temporary. God is the Guardian of our soul, which is eternal. What is there to fear from man?


Heavenly Father, some of us have no idea what our fellow Christians over the world have suffered in Your name. Yet we fear even being rejected or humiliated for our faith. We ask for the fullness of the Holy Spirit to lead us into the truth of our total protection against anything man can do to us. Help us develop the courage and perseverance to do Your will in any circumstance. Help us overcome our fear, we pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

GOD IS OUR REFUGE




The Lord knows those who are truly committed to Him and who
earnestly seek Him. For those, He is a refuge, a safety net, a
shelter of protection. He is our safeguard from evil through trials,
and in tribulations.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that we have such a loving and
merciful God who is our protector and refuge from all that would
harm us. In Jesus' name.

Read Nahum 1:7

"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who
trust in Him." (NIV)

"The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth
them that trust in him." (KJV)

GOD'S PROTECTION




Lawlessness and evil has been unleashed in this world. Look
around you, it is everywhere. There is no escape from it, except
to call on the Lord. He has promised that He will watch over us
and protect us from all this evil. We can fully trust Him to take
care of us. There is no human or other entity that can be trusted,
that will be faithful, or that is even capable of keeping us from
harm. Only our God, Him only.

Read 2 Thessalonians 3:3

"But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect
you from the evil one." (NIV)

"But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you
from evil." (KJV)
