ULTIMATE PROTECTION

Psalm 40: 11 …. Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me. 

In today’s world we all need protection and there is none better than the protection God gives us. It’s like having the ultimate body guard with us 24/7.😊

Psalm 36 also reminds us God’s protection comes from His unfailing love and faithfulness which it says are as vast as the ocean and reach beyond the clouds. You see, there is no greater power to appeal to and we know God is already on our side, fighting our battles, and has already defeated Satan at the Cross.

We do have to appropriate it though. We have to live in the shelter of the Most High which for us, this side of the Cross, is being ‘in Christ’. Psalm 91 reminds us we have to declare something, “This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him.” We have to declare and believe those things first and then we’re free to claim the rest of the psalm as our own. 

He will rescue us from every trap, cover us with His feathers, shelter us with His wings and guard us with His angels. His faithful promises are our armour and protection. No plague shall come near our dwelling, we will not fear the terrors by day or night, nor dread disease or disaster. No evil will come near us. We have to believe it, and it helps to visualise it. Have you declared it yet this morning?😊

It reminds me of the elderly lady in the last war living in London during the blitz. Instead of worrying, she read in Psalm121:4 how God never slumbers or sleeps, so she just said to God, “You are going to be awake all night Father anyway so there’s no point me staying awake worrying as well, so I’m just going to trust You and go to sleep. Thank You for keeping me safe. Amen.” And He did.

 Aren’t we blessed to have that kind of protection round the clock?😊 Thank You Lord. We believe it and we declare it by faith today. In Jesus name. Amen.
