STRENGTH AND PROTECTION

“There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.  The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.”

Deuteronomy 33:26,27 KJV

Lina Sandell wrote one of my favorite hymns “Day by Day”.  I’m so glad these words are true.  “Day by day, and with each passing moment, Strength I find, to meet my trials here; Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.”  We can trust God to help us and protect us.

When I gave my heart to Jesus, I thought everything would be wonderful and I would never have any problems again.  I found out that was not true.  When we become Christians and serve Jesus, it makes satan very angry and he does his best to discourage us so we will stop serving Jesus.

God is our refuge and our help.  He will protect us from the snares and darts of discouragement that satan hurls at us.  It is always safe to trust God because He really loves us and cares about us.  If you are discouraged, tell God and He will encourage you and protect you from all harm.
