OUR ADDRESS IS GOD'S ARMS

Deuteronomy 33:27

"The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy before you and said, 'Destroy.'" ESV

We know that faith comes from hearing the Word. Our faith shows our ability to place our lives in God's hands. He cradles us in His eternal arms. As long as we choose to stay in His arms, we are safe from having to hide from His sight. His arms keep us from falling. They keep us from danger. They keep us!

Lord, all praise to You for Your everlasting arms that hold us and protect us. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we will know when we are trying to get out of Your arms to check out our own ideas and agendas. We know that we are safe in Your everlasting arms. In Your almighty name we pray, Amen.

LIVING ABOVE ACCOUNTABILITY

Habakkuk 2:9

"Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be safe from the reach of harm!" ESV

There are well known business, political, sports, and evangelistic leaders who build their empire in ways that are far from Spirit led. They aspire to live exalted above common man and believe they are above danger and ruin. They will be exposed for what they are. Ruin and devastation will come on them unexpectedly and it will be indescribable tragedy.

Lord, keep us from thinking we can build our lives so that we can be deceitful and think we are safe. Help us have a heart of compassion and intercessory prayer for those who do such things. In Your name we pray, 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.

DIVINE HASMAT INSURANCE

Hebrews 13:6

"So we can confidently say, 'the Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'"

The Lord has told us He would never leave nor forsake us. Our faith in His words gives us full confidence in His being all powerful. No matter what people do to us, no matter what the plans and behaviors of others do to us, God's strength is far more powerful. Though it seems the Lord does not see or care, trust Him!. He is working and He will take care of us. The strength of men is limited and they cannot overpower our God.

Heavenly Father, forgive us when we lose faith and feel that You have forgotten us. Help us to use the faith You have given us to rise up with confidence that You are always alongside us, taking care of us, and crushing the harm others are trying to inflict on us. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

GET YOUR PITCHING ARM READY

Psalm 55:22

"Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved." ESV

We can literally throw our worries and concerns on the Lord with full confidence that He will protect us. He is ever faithful to those who have a heart of obedience and desire to please Him. As long as we live in the world, we will have trials and sufferings. But, we don't have to carry the burdens and fall under the pressure. We have total access to give them all over to the Lord and be free of the burden of worry.

Heavenly Father, we thank You and praise You for always opening Your arms to carry our worries and burdens for us. We give you honor for this freedom You give us to worship and glorify You before all people. May they be drawn to You as they see us rejoicing in You though we are plagued with troubles. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

SLEEPING PEACEFUL

Psalm 4:8

"In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety." ESV

We can all identify with those nights of lying there in bed with thoughts of this and that repeating themselves in our heads and sleep seems far away. When this happens, we can examine our faith to see if we have let the cares of this world creep in and rob us of our peace. When we keep our eyes on Jesus and His power and plan for our lives, we will not only get into our beds, but we will sleep with wonderful peace, because we know Who is taking care of us.

Heavenly Father, forgive us for allowing the cares of this world to rob us of the peace You long for us to have. Give us determination to focus on You and Your Word so that the Holy Spirit will reign in our hearts with Your peace that passes all understanding. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

WINGS OF SAFETY

Psalm 36:7

"How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings." NIV

"How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of they wings." KJV

The Lord God has never failed us. He has never turned His back on us when we have come to Him with a contrite heart. He is love and has always loved us even when we could not have cared less. There is no doubt or fear that God's love is faithful and can be relied on no matter what. We can run to Him for cover just as the little chicks run to the mother hen and hide themselves under the safety of her wings. What peace and security!

Heavenly Father, how we stand in awe of Your unfailing love and grace toward us. You have shown us over and over throughout time that You are faithful. We thank You and praise You for being our haven of safety, for providing the shadow of Your wings to protect and keep us. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, Amen.
