Protection
My clothes protect my body from the elements. I can hardly imagine what it would be like to be exposed to the burning sun without protection. I also can’t imagine exposure to extreme cold without protection of my clothing or a warm coat. The fact is I need protection from lots of things. I need protection from bad people, so I’m thankful for our law enforcement as well as military who protect me from bad people.
The Lord is my ultimate Protector. He knows my needs. He knows my weaknesses. He knows the desires of my heart – good or bad. He knows me. He loves me. He protects me. Check this out…
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12 NIV)
I feel protected by the Lord. I feel like His Presence is like a blanket of protection spread over me. His Presence in me is a huge game-changer. He has the Power to Protect me from anything and everything. He not only protects me, but surrounds me with His Favor. I really want the Lords favor on my family. I want His favor on my work. I want His favor on my life. I want His favor all over me like a protective shield. I’m going to rest under the favor of The Lord today and every day!
