“Safe & Sound”

Scripture:

The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; and the godly run to Him and are safe. (Proverbs 18:10)

Observation:

There is no better Person with whom we can call out to, nor are there any stronger arms that we can run into than the LORD our God, for He keeps watch over and protects His entire creation.

Application:

There is absolutely nothing that is unknown to the Mighty and Sovereign One who created everything that exists; including the very life we breathe. He keeps the universe perfectly tuned and balanced (Hebrews 1:3), protecting this world from the incredible energy of the universe that could so easily annihilate our solar system. And our gracious and merciful God will continue this protection until the end of ages. The Father of Life hears every desperate cry that is poured out from the mouths of His people (2 Chronicles 16:9). He sees each and every tear that drops from every eye that He so masterfully created. He feels the pain of our every hurt, for He knows very well what it means to suffer. But our Loving God also notices and takes great delight in our laughter and joy, for He rejoices when we are alive and vibrant in Him, enjoying the world that He personally created for us to live in. Although we cannot physically see our mighty and awesome God at this time, we can be confident that He is very much a part of our everyday lives and is constantly interacting on our behalf—even in the lives of those who refuse to know or accept Him. Our Living God speaks to every heart, for the life of every soul is so very precious to Him. That is just the Way God is and always will be. So to all you precious children of the Living God I say; until you become truly one with the Creator and Savior of the World, Christ Jesus, you will remain enslaved in the darkness of this fallen world, and blind to its deadly and deceitful ways. Until the living Spirit of God is dwelling in your heart you will never know the Truth about life, nor will you experience the true joy of knowing all that the Lord has planned for you. And unless you confess and repent of you rebellion against God and gladly receive His gift of salvation, you will never experience the Peace of God which trumps any and all that this fallen world offers. For without God’s gracious protection, you could very well face Hell on Earth when the Almighty God unleashes His burning anger on a rebellious mankind that loves and worships this earth so dearly (Revelation 20:9). Don’t be duped into becoming one with Satan’s fallen world and burn; rather escape the coming night by becoming one with Christ Jesus our Lord and know what it is to truly live and love like Jesus!

Prayer:

Thank You, O LORD, for being our Rock and our Fortress where we find strength and protection. Thank you for the salvation that we do not deserve. Thank You for setting us free from the condemnation that belongs to all unrepentant sinners, for without You…we have no hope!

Amen
