I had a fantastic weekend! My mom was in town visiting from NC and she spent the day with my family! Good to see you, Mom! (She reads my blog sometimes) :-)
Well, we are in Proverbs 30:5, NLTse:
"Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to Him for protection"
Have you ever bought a new gadget or appliance? You open the box, take everything out, look it over and turn it upside down and then say, "how do you use this thing"? Then after a little more struggle you finally resort to "the instructions" - that were waiting all along and then say, " ahhh now I understand"!! This has happened to me MANY times!! LOL!
Well, that is our heavenly Father; waiting to instruct us, protect us and show us the right way to go. All we have to do is go to him and ask for protection. The key is: WE have to GO! God has made us free moral agents with the ability to make choices. Unfortunately for us, if we choose the wrong path we are out from under God's protection and then we will suffer the consequences of our bad choice. AR Bernard puts it succintly: "Our greatest place of protection is obedience"... WOW!
So, let's make a wise choice TOGETHER. Instead of worrying about something, or being stressed by a situation or tough decision; let's ask God for His protection and take refuge! (protection and shelter from danger)
What an AWESOME promise!!
