God is the Holy One of Israel; yet, He cares for each one of us
individually, regardless of our circumstances. He is our redeemer and our
strong tower (Isaiah 41:13-14; Psalm 46:1).
He actually holds our hand when we are afraid, and He promises to help each
one of us. When we allow fear to overwhelm us, we fall into its trap; but when
we trust the Lord, He keeps us safe (Proverbs 29:25; Psalm 34:4).
We see how Jesus calmed the storms for His disciples, and He abides
within us and protects us as well (Mark 4:39-40). The angel of the Lord
actually camps around those who honor God with their life, and He delivers us
(Psalm 34:7).
Even if we are reviled or falsely accused when we are living righteously,
God will reward us for it. Regardless of what any person says about us or threatens
us with He is our defense (1 Peter 3:14; Deuteronomy 3:22).
God places His redeeming hand on our life, encourages us not to give
place to fear and reminds us that He is our all in all (Revelation 1:17). He
took on the form of a man in order to save us.
All He asks of us is to believe in Him (Mark 5:36). In failing to
believe, we condemn our self to eternal damnation (John 3:18). In our belief,
we accept God's eternal plan for our life (John 3:6-17).
Nothing we do, think or say, or anything that is in heaven or on the
earth, can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:38-39). We are eternally His
child and He loves us unconditionally.
Prayer:
Father God, You actually rejoice over us with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).
We dwell in the shadow of Your wings and You give us shelter and rest. You are
our refuge and fortress in this world of unrest, and we trust in You. Your
faithfulness is a shield and strong tower for us. We have nothing to fear in
the day or the night.
You give Your angels charge over us to keep us. Even if we fall, they
are there to sustain and guard us. Since we love You, You rescue us, and You
protect us when we walk in Your will and ways. We call on You and You answer
us, deliver us and give us honor in any sort of trouble (Psalm 91:1-16).
Thought for the Day:
Since the Lord is with us, there is no reason for us to feel fear. Man
can do nothing to us if God is right there with us, helping us and delivering
us from every sort of evil.
- Psalm 118:6-7
