Thou shalt keep them in the secret place of thy face from the pride of man; thou shalt keep them in the tabernacle protected from the strife of tongues.
Psalm 31:20
God being our Hiding Place
God being our Refuge
God being our Net of Safety
God being our Shelter
There is truly nothing like being secure in knowing God loves us.
When we contemplate things that might ordinarily create an uneasiness in those without faith, those of us with unwavering faith, can settle back into a mindfulness of trust, knowing God is with us. He never leaves us, He never forsakes us. He loves us regardless of who “we are” and “what we’ve done.”
He is a forgiving and merciful God, and that mercy endures forever.
His Word, and His promises don’t have an “expiration date” no, in fact they are tantamount to our survival in the world today. When we know that we are unscathed by “man” because God is in control at all times, we can attest to that love, by the peace we feel “in our souls.”
He is the glory and lifter up of our heads. (Psalm 3:3)
He is our defense at all times.
He is the procurer of peace, or more to the point….our peace.
God will always protect us, in ways that are still visible today. Look around and be aware, connect with Him and get to know Him. His promises are there right this moment, waiting for you to “embrace Him and His Word.”
Being in His Word, and being surrounded by His love, is to be filled with Joy. With God we have the tools to dismantle any kind of strife that may come our way, but only through Jesus Christ. For, we are strong in Christ, and we will not fall, or grow weary…as long as we have Him.
He is our “everything” for today, tomorrow and for all eternity!
“Father God, I look to You for all things, for protection, for guidance, for reasurrance, and for wisdom to be able to live in a world filled with angst and despair, but through it all, I see Your light, and I thank You today, tomorrow and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”
Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
