Beloved, God says in His Word that He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5-6). Does that sound as if God is telling lies? Does it sound as something that is not feasible or obtainable in your life? Is it in sharp contrast with the current reality of your life? Does it look now as if God has abandoned you, and you are now running around in search of God as it were? The truth is that God doesn't abandon his own. He has a divine insurance for you. However, you can breach the terms of the contract or abandon God. You can as well be ignorant of God's programme for your life.
Most times we feel forsaken just because things are not going the way and manner we want. That we are into fire doesn't mean that God has abandoned us. God has already given out his Word. When we fail to act on it even in the midst of the fire, and we believe in the lies of the enemy, it means that we have abandoned our stand with God, and at that point, we are on our own. Shedrack, Mishack and Abadnego were never abandoned. As God was with them in the good times, so he was with them in the bad time. Circumstances around us doesn't determine God's presence in us.
The incessant and prevalent evil in our world makes a lot of people to live in fear and confusion. What's currently in your heart now? Do you ask if God exists? Have the thorns around you made you to see God as too far and unapproachable? The truth is that the moment you feel that way is the time God is closer to you than ever. But the truth is that God doesn't need to do anything more. He has already done all that's necessary for your safety and protection.
Beloved, if you are truly in Christ, you don't have to bother about the problems and evil of the world. You are enjoying divine insurance. The person who should be bothered is the person who is still in the world. Bible says that he that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Remember that you are raised up to sit with Christ in a position that is far above principalities and powers. I pray that God will open your eyes to this truth today.
God wants you to know that in spite of the destruction ravaging the world, you are supernaturally protected. See His Word in Psalms 91:3, "Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence." This is a sovereign declaration of the Almighty God! He rescues you from every trap, and protects you from the futile plague. Never forget it: you are supernaturally protected, and will walk over danger, because the Lord is your keeper!
It is God's duty to protect you. You need not bug your head over that. Your duty is to trust Him and live in purity. You, as a child of God is entitled to His Divine insurance. It's non negotiable. God tells you today;
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." Isaiah 41:10
Thanks so much for your time today
