Topic: “ENJOYING GOD’S PROTECTION I”
Text: Psalm 7:6-10
Memory Verse: “The exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the upright” – Psalm 7:10
The issue of our protection from the troubles of this life is a combined partnership. There is the place of God and there is the role we must play. We must battle alongside God to stay protected. While God does the great work of fighting for us and offering us His covering, we also have the part of lifting the shield of faith over our minds, and our hearts. We are to hold unto the word of God, reminding ourselves of who He is – our Strong Tower, Refuge, Redeemer, Shepherd etc. We are to repeat this to ourselves over and over until it gets into us.
Beloved, it is the will of God that you enjoy His everlasting shield over you, but you must know that this provision has been made for you in Christ Jesus and know also what you must do to take advantage of it. Exercising your faith around this revelation helps to build the needed strength in you that would keep your heart at rest in the midst of so many threatening voices bombarding you on every side.
There is power in what we say whether positive or negative. David confessed God as one who delivers the upright in heart. If you align your heart with Him and with His word, stay connected to Him through Jesus, and allow the righteousness of Jesus to run through you freely, then you will enjoy God’s supernatural protection everywhere you go. Even if you suffer any attacks here on earth, you are sure of being kept from spending eternity in hell. May I charge you right now to check your alignment with God again and make the necessary adjustment as you pray.
Prayer: Commit yourself again to the Lord and ask Jesus to re-establish His righteousness and faith in you.
