Divine Protection-1

13 September 2011 Divine Protection

 We encounter lot of tough times in life, when we need help in the midst of locked doors, we are troubled and worried, or we may criticize others or moan, feel sorry,complain and attempt to solve the problems  by ourselves or may run here and there, in vain. Psalm 121 teaches us that, when we need help, we need to look to the Lord Almighty and He is ready to support us.

¹I lift up my eyes to the mountains— 
   where does my help come from? 

Our difficulties may seem to be large or insurmountable to handle, Relax .Help comes from above, the Almighty God- it  is always a wonderful experience and beyond our imaginations.

• “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.” Psalm 125:2

² My help comes from the LORD, 

   the Maker of heaven and earth.

During the times of need, lift your eyes to the Lord. Satan will try to keep our eyes upon our sorrows, circumstances and make us feel discouraged; but we have to stand firmly to resolve in our mind, to look up, to get help from above.

• “Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth”.Psalm 124:8
•  “The truth we have to know that our exact help comes from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.  “the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.” Genesis 2:4

Do not worry. The one who made heaven and earth is there to help you. His power,mercy, goodness and grace can sustain us. Feel how BIG our God really is, when we look up to the skies with thankful heart.

³ He will not let your foot slip— 
   he who watches over you will not slumber; 

• “He will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.” 1 Samuel 2:9
• “Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble”….“for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”Proverbs 3:23,26

⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel 
   will neither slumber nor sleep

• “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain.Unless the LORD watches over the city,the guards stand watch in vain.Psalm 127:1
• “I, the LORD, watch over it; I water it continually.I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it,”Isaiah 27:3.

Unless God takes charge- nothing will work out perfectly.GOD IS IN CONTROL

 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 
   neither are your ways my ways,”
            declares the LORD.
  “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
   so are my ways higher than your ways
   and my thoughts than your thoughts.Isaiah 55:7-8

 It is a great confirmation that 

        still  God is in control. 

Life's path may look like this.
Be of good courage ,for I (Jesus) am with you
