Protection

Who does not like to feel protected?

We like to run into shelter from the cold. We prefer watching rain from inside rather than being out getting drenched from it. Many seek shade when the sun is bright and we love the comfort of someone looking out for our welfare, be it a friend, a family member or a loved one. A check in text message or a quick phone call brightens the day and we feel the connection and protection of that person’s care for us.

God is the ultimate protector.

“And Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

–Exodus 14:13-14

“For the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”

–Deuteronomy 20:4

“The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; my Savior, You save me from violence. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.”

–2 Samuel 22:3-4

As needed, do seek protection.

Choose God as the ultimate source.
