God My Protector

Scripture: Genesis 31: [42] If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would surely have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands, and last night he rebuked you.”

Observation: I take for granted that I’m here safe and healthy only because of God’s protection. I don’t take care of myself and I’ve put myself in harm’s way on several occasions and yet I’m still here. God has answered so many prayers and has taken care of all of my needs, but the only reason Satan hasn’t been able to put a stop to my life is because of God’s hand of protection. Every morning that I wake up it’s only because God allows it.

Application: I need to stop thinking I can do things on my own and that I have control over things around me. God has chosen that I be here at this time and place and that He has a purpose for my life. As long as I follow Him He will keep me safe and there is nothing for me to fear, because whatever may happen to me God is in control.

Prayer: My dear Father I thank you for your love and protection in my life and I ask you to continue to guide me each day on the path you have made for me. Show me how to please you and accomplish the purpose you have given me. You are worthy of all of my love, praise and worship.
