Direction and Protection
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows
favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is
blameless”
(Psalm 84:11, NIV)
God has many ways of pouring out His favor and goodness
on our lives. Scripture says that He is your sun and shield. What does the sun
do for us? It lights our way, keeps us warm, and nourishes the plants of the
earth so that we can have food. Think about that for a moment. The earth is
sustained by its relationship to the sun, and God wants to sustain you through
your relationship with Him. He wants to give you direction and be your shield
of protection against all the fiery darts of the enemy.
In the natural, it’s easy to fall into the trap of
relying on the things of this world to direct and protect us. But when we put
our trust and hope in our heavenly Father, not only does it enrich our
relationship with Him, it opens the door to the supernatural realm. It opens
the door to supernatural favor, wisdom, divine connections, new ideas and so
much more. When you trust in Him, He shines His light on your path and leads
you forward into the blessing and victory He has prepared for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, today I open my heart and mind to You.
I choose to put my trust in You and receive Your blessing of direction and
protection. Show me Your ways that I may walk with You today and always in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
Psalm 23:1-3
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
He restores my soul. My, that sounds so good. But it is more than talk. When we've reached point that we can't go on, God blesses us with strength to just keep on walking. When we're in a struggle and things are tough, his power upholds us and we run to victory. When we're winning victories in his name, we can soar on wings like eagles. He is a shepherd and more. He is the Rock and Sustainer of our lives!
MY PRAYER...
O Gentle Shepherd, help me rest tonight in your grace and in the confidence that you are nearby. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
