Over the
years of my walk with the Lord, I learned to stand tall in courage and strength
that come from Christ in me. He never, ever leaves or forsakes me for any
reason (Deuteronomy 31:6).
He alone is
our refuge and He gives us strength and continual help in any trouble that
comes our way (Psalm 46:1). There is no reason to be afraid of what life or
people will do to us, because God is our helper (Psalm 118:6-7).
If we allow
our self to fear what the devil, the world or evil people will do to us, it
becomes a physical, emotional and mental liability. When we trust in the Lord
and walk in His Spirit, He gives us peace and safety, even in trials (Proverbs
29:25).
Jesus proved
these promises time and again with His disciples. He even has power over nature
(Mark 4:39-40). He is a victorious warrior in our midst. He exults and rejoices
over us with joy and His quiet, steadfast love (Zephaniah 3:17).
When we
dwell in the shelter of the Almighty, we rest in the shadow of the Most High
God. He is our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we place our trust.
He shelters
us with the feathers of His wings and shields us with His faithfulness. We do
not fear any darkness or pestilence or plague; because although thousands may
fall all around us, His angels guard us on every side (Psalm 91:1-16).
Prayer:
Father God,
since we love You and acknowledge Your authority in our life, You rescue and
protect us. When we call upon You, You answers us. You are with us in trouble,
and You honor and deliver us. We are assured that no matter what life throws at
us, You are in the middle of the turmoil and struggle right along with us.
You
strengthen us and give us courage, You help us and lift us in Your hands above
the storms of life. You live within us by Your Spirit and You are greater than
Satan and his evil doers in this world. We cast all of our cares on You,
because we know without a doubt that You care for us.
Thought for
the Day:
As we keep our faith and trust in Him, God strengthens us in the very core of our soul. and He lifts our spirit when trials attempt to drag us down in fear and discouragement and life tends to overwhelm us with circumstances beyond our control.
