God is my Protector

Psalm 91:9-12; 14-16

If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
No evil will conquer you; no plaque will come near your dwelling.
For He orders the angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.

The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them. I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my salvation."

I feel so secure when I picture God as my protector. I look back at times in my life when I truly know he sent angels to protect me. And to think they are always there! I just don't always notice! The more I study the scriptures, the more I converse with God, the more I am able to see of his love and protection. And the more I am able to truly depend on him and cast all my burdens and worries on him. He is ever present!

Come To Know Jesus

And this is the way to have eternal life-
to know you,
the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
John 17:3


But we know that there is only one God, the Father,
who created everything, and we exist for him.
And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom God made everything
and through whom we have been given life.
I Corinthians 8:6


May God bless you with his special favor and wonderful peace as you come to know Jesus,
our God and Lord,* better and better.
2 Peter 1:2

And we know that the Son of God has come,
and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God.
And now we are in God because we are in his Son, Jesus Christ.
He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.
I Johns 5:20
