The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. (Psalms 121:7-8 KJV)
My husband captured this picture. He was a passenger and knew I’d enjoy this as I love pictures of various cloud formations. This one a “curtain” cloud clearly singifies an impending downpour that is sure to come. It looks ominous to the average eye. However, I truly felt the complete opposite.
When I looked at this picture I felt a sense of peace knowing that we’re always under the protection of the Lord. When Moses was in the dessert the Lord provided a cloud by day to protect His children from the heat. And, of course the fire by night for warmth.
And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. (Deuteronomy 33:12 KJV) God will provide for His children every single day of their lives. And, the level in which He carries out His acts of love are infinite. The provisions we receive during our lifetime, by His hands of grace,are overwhelming. His acts throughout the Bible are recorded for all generations to understand thereby gaining us entrance into eternity. If we accept Him as our God…and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior…and walk in obedience to His ways.
Our Father loves His children, He may not like what we’re doing at times, and He despises sin…but He never stops loving us. Or waiting for us to accept Him and love Him back. He is our Abba Father. Our loving Father, who created us. We are secure in knowing that He loves us, and will never leave us. There is nothing to fear when God is near. We are His children
15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. (Romans 8:15-16 KJV) There is the connection and reality of who God is. Our “Abba” Father. Our internal dialogue is entwined with Him as well as when we profess verbally our love to Him. Peace and safety is with us when we trust and know that He will always be our protector.
2 Corinthians 6:18 (NKJV)
“I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,”
Says the Lord Almighty
How special is that? To know that we’re His children? It should be reason enough for anyone to glorify Him, praise Him, worship Him, and Love Him…fully, completely and forever. The next time you see threatening clouds looming large, smile and sit back…Father is in control and He’ll shelter you from any storm.
Remember, we love Him because He first loved us… (John 4:19 KJV)
