“Because you favour Zion, do what is good for her. Be the protecting wall around Jerusalem.” Psalms 51:18 TPT.
Protected by the Lord
When we walk in, and follow, the steps that the Lord shows us to take – we can be certain that He will take care of and protect us in all that He has planned for us to do. I’m not saying that we won’t face difficulties and challenges along the way. In fact Paul (2 Corinthians 11: 16-33) goes into great detail about the really hard things he faced through the years – including countless floggings and many years in prison in different places he visited.
I’m not saying that each of us will face the same, but we do need to be aware and prepared that it might be hard at times! But Paul knew he was walking forward in the steps that his Father was showing him and, because of that knew that He would be given the strength to cope – and, most of all, that he would be protected.
Our Mind-Set
I do believe that we need to have the right mind-set as to what that protection is that we are given by the Lord. It certainly doesn’t mean an easy life of ‘putting our feet up’ – quite probably the complete opposite….. However, when we know that He protects us every step of the way and gives us the strength we need – we also know His love, joy and peace in all that we do. And really, what more could we ask for!!
God’s Kingdom
And know, most of all that, in the process – you are taking part in the building up of the Kingdom of God.
Be blessed. 🙏❣️
