Protected and Blessed by Our God

Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. (Job 1:10)

Even satan knows how protected, defended, cared for, watched over, blessed we are by God Himself! God had a hedge of protection around Job and everything God had blessed him with, on every side, and the devil couldn’t come close to touching it. Don’t let life’s temporary circumstances make you forget that!

God and I

Sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By Thy return, sweet hour of prayer

Because God is with Us

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. (Psalms 23:4)

You don’t have to be afraid of anything that life throws at you. Why? Because God is with you. Personally, individually and specifically with you. And He will always be with you, promising to never leave you and never to forsake you. You are His child. That’s why we love Him, trust Him and obey Him.

My Hope and My Help

“Happy (blessed, fortunate, satisfied, at peace, well taken care of etc.) is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, (Psalms 146:5)”

We will ALWAYS have help. That’s why we are never without hope (an expectation of better). “On Christ the solid Rock we stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.”

I Am Right There With You

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God…(Isaiah 43:2‭-‬3a)”

“For I am the Lord your God!!” We never face anything alone, that’s His promise. Thank God for His goodness and His faithfulness.

The Lord, My Advocate

“My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” (I John 2:1)

We should thank God every day for being our Advocate (supporting us and defending us). May we be forever reminded that we have God Himself standing by our side, fighting on our behalf, pleading our case. What a great picture of God’s goodness and faithfulness to us.
