The Lord Protects

Scripture: Genesis 7: [16] The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

Observation: I can picture God waiting until Noah and his family safely got onto the ark and then closing the door to make sure it was secure. God has done that my whole life without me knowing it. He keeps danger from me keeping me safe and away from harm. He also closes the door to situations that I might have thought looked good, but God knew better. Throughout my life I’ve been in very rough waters, but God made sure I didn’t sink.

Application: Knowing God is watching over me I should be taking more chances for Him. I should have faith and trust in Him when a situation that will glorify Him comes my way. Instead of doubting or trying to figure a way out I need to trust my God knowing He wants the best for me and wants me to do His will.

Prayer: My Lord thank you for closing doors in my life that otherwise would have harmed me. Thank you for your love and protection and I ask for wisdom to know what you desire of me. That you would make it clear, that I would know each day how to live this life in a way that with honor You.
