HE KEEPS ME SAFE!

Psalm 18:1-3 How I love you Lord! You are my defender. v.2 The Lord is my protector; he is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. v.3 I call to the Lord, and he saves me from my enemies. Praise the Lord!

When I came down to breakfast this morning Chris had left this scripture out for me last night to read first thing this morning. Isn't God good! He brings His reassurance before we even start the day. He calms our fears with His words and His promises. What a Saviour! They are like a warm security blanket tucked in all around us.

God is always ahead of us, always has the answer, always causes us to be overcomers, to have the victory when our eyes are on Him. Glory to His name.

So when we have to go out for the necessities of life, like exercise and food, we can go out with His words ringing in our ears, the sure knowledge that He is our shield, He is keeping us safe and that He has given His angels charge over us.  The enemy has tried again and again to clip our wings with fear but he wont win if we don't let him.

It's interesting the Lord gave me the word yesterday about soaring high like an eagle. He was preparing us to wait on Him, to soak in His word and His goodness because He knew we would need that word by the end of the day.  

You see the promises of God are for the hard times, when things don't seem too brilliant, when things are contrary to how we'd like them to be in any area of life. It's then we really need to stand in faith on God's word regardless of how we feel, or what things look like.

He has told us this morning "with Him I am safe", so let's lay hold of that and in faith declare with the Psalmist "with my God, I am safe. He protects me like a shield." Amen.
