READ 2 CHRONICLES
16:1-9
God is able
to give you an all–round protection as you journey through this world. As you
go out on your daily business, and even as you return home each day, God’s
protection over you is assured. Yes, the Bible says: “Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may
devour.” (1 Peter 5:8). Though lions walk about seeking preys, the eyes
of the Lord run about to protect you. He will there whenever you need Him. In 2
Chronicles 16:9, the Bible says: “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose
heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on
you shall have wars.” The lion is walking about but the eyes of the
Lord are running to and fro. The One running is obviously faster than the walking.
As long as the Lord is your help, before the lion can get to you, He is already
by your side. When the lion looks at you, he will see the Lord. The eyes of the
Lord constantly survey the whole world to locate His own and see if there is
any danger on their path. If God has to wait all the time for us to pray before
He acts, it may be too late. Long before we pray, the Almighty God has spotted
the danger on our ways and has made provisions in any case. God is everywhere
at all times, according to Psalm 139:7-10: “Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the
morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand
shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” He is on the
mountain top. He is in the valley. He is in the air and also under the sea. God
is everywhere. He will protect you everywhere you go. You are safe in His
hands. Underneath you are Everlasting arms.
MEMORIZE:
EXODUS 12:13 –Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you
are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not
be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
