God, My Protector

Who is best to take care of you?

He is in control and knows the end of your journey before you even start out.

He is Jehovah Shomri. God, my protector.

God promises:

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: (Life is hard but God will lead you through it, even when things get overwhelming) when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you.

You may not get to skirt some  problems, but he will be there with you in the situation just like that fourth man in the fire.

Adapted from Isaiah 43 verse 2

( If you do not know about the fourth man in the fire, read the book of Daniel)

When God knows you..

God is powerful.

At times, we miss the fact that this same God who created the universe is also our father.

He is a father to those who believe in his only son and who put their trust in him.

We are all God’s creatures. But as a born-again believer, we are called  children of God.

If we are children of God, then he will provide for us.

He will protect us.

He knows us.

He knows even our name. This is an intimate relationship he seeks to have with us.

Trust him. He does not sleep. It takes only one cry to awake his ear. 

Prove him today, and see if he will not come through for you.

But now thus saith the Lord that created you…and he that formed you.

God said, “Fear not; for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine.”

Isaiah 43 verse 1

Praying is simple in 2025

Praying to God should not be complicated.

Right?

God loves to hear our voices as we call on Him.

Keeping things simple yet relevant is important. We don’t have to make a fuss.

Ask and it shall be given unto you.

Easy.

For example, if you were on board a sinking ship and you need help. You scream…”Help.” There is no time to beat around the bush.

So, when you come to God in prayer, just tell him what you are in need of, and He promises to answer.

Isaiah 41 verse 10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea I will help thee…

He will always be there to hear whatever you have to say.

I call Him Jehovah Rapha; the Lord my healer.

God will never fail thee.

And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee neither forsake thee; fear not neither be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31, verse 8

God will never turn his back on me.

And promises never to walk away while others flee.

His presence makes my heart beat with joy and ease.

Because I know there is nothing to fear before my enemies.

For The Moment #2

Don’t be afraid, and always remember the true and living God we serve is a good God.As our shield; he will protect us, and as our reward, he will honour us and provide for us.

Shield –

Journey to the Resurrection

Yet To Be # 309

“My God, my God why has thou forsaken me?” Matthew 27 verse 46.

This is not a question that the Lord Jesus needed to be answered.

He knew why God could not look at him. Why God had to turn his back on his only begotten son.

He knew hanging on the cross, crucified for the sake of the world he was made sin by taking our sins on himself. He became the true sacrifice.

This was the work that the Father gave him to do.

And he fulfilled this work in perfect obedience.

In perfect satisfaction to God.

“God is of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look upon sin.” Habakkuk 1 verse 13.

There Is No Shame

Yet To Be # 308

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashame: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame. Isaiah 54 verse 4.

His words are true. His love is real.

His promises can never fail.

With his blood, he has bought our hearts.

Now, seen in him, we will never part.

Standing in faith, there is no shame, no press of fear.

Because the God of peace, our eternal Lord, is here and will remain near.
