He that dwelleth in the
the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely, he shall
deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee
with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy
shield and buckler. Thou
shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by
day;
This being a new
year and witnessing the chaos that we are bombarded with daily; I felt the need
to encourage all to remember that God is our true protector. Throughout this
Psalm, the Lord gives the assurances that He will protect us from the many
dangers we may encounter. What we must do is to trust God in any and all
situations, because God is true to His word. He is the same yesterday, today
and forever. God is a God who changes not. God has kept every promise made; He
promised to provide all our needs, and He does so with grace, love, and mercy.
God asks us to cast all of our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7 KJV) because He is
going to take care of the situation.
God has a proven record
of providing for all of our (humanity’s) needs. Reflect with me on the young
nation of Israel during their travels out of the land of Egypt. He was their
guiding light by night and their covering from the heat during the day by providing
a cloud covering. He fed them with manna from heaven and water from a rock, and
even after the manna stopped God after the Israelites had eaten corn from the
land of Canaan. There was fruit from the land of Canaan (Joshua 5:21). The
Bible records other instances where God provided for and protected His people.
He is doing so today regardless of the media proclaiming gloom and doom; remember
who God is. Satan has no power over us; we are in the protective unseen hands
of God.
God is all we need.
