The Lord is Our Protector

Scripture 1 Chron 18:13 He also put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

Observation: We think sometimes that we do it all alone. That we can accomplish things apart from God, but God is the one that preserves us. It’s by the will and mercy of God that we are even still here and when we have a triumphs in this life, God should be getting all the glory, not us. God has chosen a path for us and on this path He is leading us taking obstacles out of our way and when we encounter one He is with us to fight alongside us. Once we realize that anything good that might happen in a course of the day was only because of God’s grace, we will thank him more often throughout the day.

Application: When something happens to me I need to seek God for wisdom and guidance knowing that He knows best. I’m still here only because of God’s grace and I need to thank Him for that alone each day. Everything that goes well is only because of my Lord’s protection and I need not be scared as long as I’m on the path the Lord has set me on. I need to be confident knowing that my Lord has a plan for my life and will complete it if I don’t go astray.

Prayer: Dear Lord I am yours. Take charge my Lord and direct your servant in what you desire me to do. Give me the courage to walk boldly on the path you have set me on and take any laziness away, but give me the strength and discipline to follow through on all you want me to do. I love you Lord and you deserve the best I have to offer.
