In the midst of hard and unsafe times, it is important to find comfort in God’s promises. Jesus reassured us that, although we will face hard times in this world, He has overcome them. The Apostle Paul also warned of terrible times in the last days, which we are currently experiencing. However, we can find peace in knowing that Christ has overcome all things for us.
The world may be filled with evil and wickedness, but we can find solace in God’s promises. God renews His promises to watch over us every day, and He has mandated His angels to protect and defend us.
Our lives are precious in His sight, and not even a hair on our heads will be lost. God’s security architecture for us is total and absolute. He neither sleeps nor slumbers, and legions of angels wait on Him to take instructions. He has directed them to minister to the heirs of salvation.
God values us more than many sparrows, and all who believe in Him are worth more than the lives of many men. We need not be afraid, because God’s presence is with us. He prepares a table before us in the presence of our adversaries. Those who rise against us are humbled, and the hands lifted against us shrivel. The wicked are thrown into confusion, and those who come against us devour themselves. No evil comes near our dwelling, and we are hidden from trouble through the blood of Jesus.
God is the preserver of those who hope in Him. In times of famine, we will be fed, and in times of drought, there will be no lack in our homes. We need not fear in tough or hard times, as God assures us that no evil will come near our dwelling. He will break the bow of the wicked and turn their arrows against them. No weapon formed against us shall prosper, and no judgment against us shall stand. There is no sorcery or enchantment against the children of the Most High. Those who dig a pit for us dig it for themselves, and those who roll a stone against us do so at their own peril.
Beloved, the Lord is our light and salvation, protecting us from all dangers. Our hearts should not be afraid of evil tidings. God is always with us, even until the end of time. In these times, we can walk knowing that God is with us.
Remain blessed
