THERE IS SAFETY WITH JESUS

"Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,"

Psalms 17:8

King James Version

Rev. William Orcutt Cushing wrote one of my favorite hymns "Under His Wings".  I love the words in this beautiful inspiring hymn.   "Under His wings I am safely abiding, Though the night deepens and tempests are wild, still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me, He has redeemed me, and I am His child."

We can trust Jesus to keep us from danger. When satan attacks us, and he will attack us, we need to call out to Jesus and ask Him to help us and protect us.  I used to think I would never have any problems after I was saved and gave my heart to Jesus on August 14, 1980. Was I wrong!  One of my pastors said, "Before we are saved, satan doesn't have to attack us because we're not serving Jesus but when we start serving Jesus it makes satan angry and he will do all he can do to discourage us so much that we stop serving Jesus".

We must stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us. Jesus has done so much for us and died for us and we need to keep serving Jesus even when satan attacks us.

O how I love Jesus! He is the Joy of my heart, the reason I'm living and why I get out of bed when my arthritis is hurting. If you are discouraged today, tell Jesus. He loves you and will pick you up in His loving arms and carry you until the pain goes away.
