Safe Because Of You
Isaiah 43:2, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”
Hello Again! Greetings to you on this another day God has given us to bask in the love He offers to us daily! May we take time today to see the real reasons we are safe from the evil of this world, and how we need only to continue trusting in God to provide that safety. There are scriptures after scriptures that speak of God’s unfailing love and protection. From that day in the Garden of Eden, as the devil began his plot to diminish the relationship of man with God; God began His work of protection for the people He created and loved! Whether it is spiritual or physical, He works to serve as our refuge, our present help in all things. In Psalms 91, He tells of all the ways He alone protects us, guides us. In Ephesians 6, He spells out exactly what we need as armor to fight against the evils of this world. Instead of God just preventing anything that comes our way, He sustains us through it, sending us strength and endurance. Each of us needs to understand that we are only safe because of God. As we travel the journey God has laid out for us, we must find peace in knowing how much He helps, whether little things or big things, little choices or big choices. He is that still small voice that speaks when we are flustered, the voice that speaks calm when we are afraid. Our prayers should be constant; continually conversing with Him on all subjects! He already knows our needs, He just wants us to ask. When we study His word, we will find everything we need that will assist us through life. As we accept the armor of God, peace will come over the physical, the mental, the spiritual parts of our life. Our lives here are not forever; but to get to that forever home, we need to put on the armor of God so we can endure the trials while we are here. Let your words this morning, this day, reflect and then thank Him for understanding we are safe because of Him!
