GOD DEFENDS US

“AGAIN there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.  And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou?  And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.  And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?  and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.”

Job 2:1-3 KJV

When satan attacks us with his poisonous vicious lies and people say cruel things to us that aren’t true, God defends us.  What a healing salve and comfort it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that God will defend us against satan and against all those who try to hurt us.

God defends us but He also corrects us when we need it.  There have been a few times when God had to take me out to His woodshed.  However, He always reassured me that He still loves me.  Parents should follow the example that He has set and tell their children they still love them no matter what they have done.

Heavenly Father, thank You for defending us and for loving us even when we fail You and hurt You.  I pray that we will do things that make You happy instead of doing things that hurt You.  I pray for every child in the world.  May they feel Your love for them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
