GUARDIAN OF OUR SOULS

1Peter 2:25 AMP For you were continually wandering like [so many] sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

Isn’t it wonderful to know there is someone watching out for us around the clock! The Lord is our Good Shepherd and Psalm 139 reminds us there’s nowhere we can go where our Shepherd can lose sight of us, whether we’re travelling or at home, out on the ocean, in the heavens flying high or down in the depths. Even in the dark He sees us and when we wake up He’s still with us!😊

He knows where we are every minute of the day and night and He’s thinking about us and watching over us because of His great love and care for us. Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. 

Not only that but He has assigned His angelic beings to also watch over us. Psalm 91:11 NLT For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

Then He blesses us with the wonderful truth that He guards our souls because we’ve come back to Him, which means God is also providing protection and care for our spiritual and emotional well-being as well.

God has us covered in every area of our lives so let’s go out into our week believing His promises and resting in those reassuring truths, claiming them for ourselves, knowing we’re so loved and cared for. In Jesus wonderful name. Amen.😊

YOU THRILL ME LORD…

Psalm 92:1-2 and 4 NLT

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

to sing praises to the Most High.

  It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,

your faithfulness in the evening,

4 You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! 

 I sing for joy because of what you have done.

Have you been thrilled about anything this past few weeks? Has anything happened when you were aware the hand of the Lord had been on your life? Just recently we had a parking ticket for £50 in the local car park for not displaying a ticket. However, we did have a valid ticket, but it blew upside down when we closed the door of the car and we hadn’t noticed, so the traffic warden couldn’t read it! It was very upsetting at the time!

Anyway, we prayed for God to give us favour and we appealed and sent a photo of our valid ticket and they graciously cancelled the charge and said we no longer owed them £50 but not to do it again! So I was thrilled to bits!😊 God gave us favour with God and men as He promises in His word. (Proverbs 3:4)

I’m sure there are many times when the Lord intervenes on our behalf when we know nothing about it and it’s good to give the Lord thanks for those times as well as the ones we do recognise. There is so much in our lives that we take for granted but if they were taken away, we would soon notice it!

Apart from anything else, we can praise God for His unfailing love and His great faithfulness to us every day of our lives which we know are far greater than everything else put together. 

So would you like to join with me and say with the Psalmist, “You thrill me Lord, with all You have done for me”?😊 Let’s do a ‘good’ thing and join our voices today and sing a song of praise and thankfulness to our wonderful Saviour for all His goodness, for His loving kindness and faithfulness to us, and for His many blessings and mercies we’re maybe not even aware of. In Jesus name. Amen.
