Psalm 5:12 For You O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround Him as with a shield.
Do you remember the old western movies where the cowboys were being chased by the Native Americans and at some point as the wagon train formed a circle to defend themselves someone would shout "We're surrounded!"? Well they were surrounded in a negative way but today God wants to remind us we are surrounded in a wonderful way. Remember being encircled by His goodness yesterday? Well, if we've asked Jesus into our lives we're surrounded by God far more than we realise.
Let me show you what He means.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is our refuge and underneath are His everlasting arms.
Psalm 125:2 .... so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.
Psalm 139:5 You go before me and behind me;You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Psalm 91:4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge:...
Psalm 5:12 For You O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround Him as with a shield.
God is underneath us, ahead of us and behind us, He covers us and totally surrounds us. I love that He's surrounded us with His favour because when you have the favour of the King, you really have favour don't you? So wherever we go, whoever we're with, whatever we have to do, God says He's gone ahead of us and given us His favour in that situation. That is amazing and true. Thank You Jesus. We too can shout "We're surrounded" and enjoy being 'surrounded by Him' in the unfolding year. 😊 Woohoo!
INVITATION: God loves you and if you would like to belong to Jesus too it's very simple to do. Just say from your heart, "Lord Jesus, I believe you died on the cross for me and rose again from the dead. Please forgive my sins, and come into my life, I make you my Lord and Saviour. I thank You for making me a righteous person and a child of God." Amen.
