Be Wrapped

"He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection."
Psalm 91:4

We need to hide ourselves in the Lord for our solace and defense. We are weak and helpless but the Lord helps us overcome even our thickest battle. We are promised great security even in the midst of a brimming crisis. His flawless promises are our strength and support at all times and circumstances, preserving us from ruins and destructions. Let us take refuge under His wings and be richly rewarded for it.

Hang Upon God

"We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield."
Psalm 33:20

No matter what our situation might be, God is our help and our all in all. Let us be dumb and unemotional, awaiting His divine interposition. Let our everything hang upon God. Let us totally rely upon Him for all that is hoped for. He is our aid when none else is or can be and He is our defence when we can not defend ourselves.

Place Your Security With God

"..blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him."
Jeremiah 17:7

It is indeed a blessed experience to place our security with the Lord. He strengthens, supplies, defends, delivers, guards and guides us. His burden on us is light and His grace is sufficient for us in all walks of our life. Our life is uncertain and far beyond understanding. Let us totally rely on Him and we will never be ashamed or disappointed.

Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you

"Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you". Jeremiah1:8.
Throughout the book of Jeremiah, we see the disturbing glimpse of Jeremiah's mind.He quarrelled, reproached & outbursted with God.He wished he were dead.He accused God of being unreliable.But God offered no sympathy,Rather He kept reminding of His promise to stand by him in his everything.

You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by

"You will surely forget your trouble,recalling it only as waters gone by".Job 11:16.Running waters are gone forever.So, will be our trouble.The Lord does a new thing in our life.It springs up now.He makes way in the desert and streams in the waste land.He wants us not to dwell in the past but come out of it and enjoy His new blessings. (Isa 43:18,19).

I will Fear No Evil, for You are with me

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me"; we, children of God go

through times of danger and difficulty as all others in the world do. But because we belong to the Most High, we will not be destroyed, when we pass through any such stress or torments. we dont need to panic at any plague because the Good shepherd is always with us to protect and guide us in the proper way to life.

Be Content To Be Ignorant

"..I don't concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp."
Psalm 131:1

God's providences to us are astounding, and stupendous are His exertion of love, grace and redemption. But there are things that we know nothing about and things that exceed our knowledge (Job 42:3). Those are purposefully hidden for us by God. Let us therefore be content to be ignorant of things not clearly revealed to us. Certain positions that seem great to us may be unfit for us. Let us not seek to attain higher statures unless until the Lord takes us onto it. Let us be humble enough to agree that we cannot handle everything and be cautious not to pronounce our opinion on things out of our reach.

Unbeatable Power And Fresh Showers

"..You have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have anointed me with the finest oil."
Psalm 92:10

God strengthens us with unbeatable power, enabling us to overcome all opposition. Though now we might seem to be inferior and degraded, He will exalt us in due time and set us among princes. His strengthening will be accompanied with refreshment and honor, inspiring our inner joy and comfort. He rains down fresh showers of favor, so that we always feel renewed. Let us wait in His presence everyday to be strengthened and anointed.

Arise, Trample, Conquer

"Arise and shine..for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thine hoofs brass.."
Micah 4:13

God commands us to arise from the dust in which we are lying i.e. from all our worries and weaknesses, cast the enemy to the ground, trample him with the dust and conquer everything that is ours through Jesus Christ. He will be a powerful Helper on our side, giving us power, authority and strength to conquer and gain complete victory over satan and all his works.

Double Bliss

"Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you."
Zechariah 9:12

Let us never be soaked up in our guilt but look up to God, our Stronghold, from whatever pit we are in. He never fails to be gracious to us. Even when our circumstances seem unpromising, He will come for our rescue. In Him we not only have the sure hope of deliverance but also a double portion of joy, peace, comfort and twice as much good as we have suffered evil.

Be Paid - No Vain-laboring

"They shall not labor in vain..for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord and their descendants with them."
Isaiah 65:23

We are the seed chosen and blessed by God, raised up to serve Him. May all our thoughts, deeds and words be pleasing to Him, bringing glory to His name. He in turn blesses us and our children with temporal and spiritual favor that none can devour. He blesses the labor of our hands and we will not be worn out. None of our undertakings in the Lord will be worthless or empty.

Be Lead Gloriously

"He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night."
Psalm 78:14

Let us accredit God to set the agenda for our life. Let Him lead and guide us, illuminate our pathway (Ex.13:17-22) and shield us from our enemies (Ex.14:19,20). Following Him will keep us from followng our human impulses and promptings. May He lead us to glory (1Kgs.8:10), guiding us by His Word (Jer.5:14). When we have a wonderful Saviour to lead us gloriously, why choose to be lead by our own human perceptions?

Highest Possible Peace

"..the peace of God which trascends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:7

Perfect peace is from God and never from the world (John 14:27). So it is inevitable that we have a fitting alliance with God, confidently committing all our charge to Him. Let us not carry our own baggage but leave everything to Him in prayer. Our God of peace will keep our hearts and minds from all concerns, anxieties and agitations and fill us with the highest possible kind of peace.

God Upholds And Uplifts Us

"The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down."
Psalm 145:14

God looks upon us when we are weak, neglected and scorned, to brace, strengthen and help us stand. He nurses and fetches us up when we are bowed down with disgrace and distress and subdued by burden, stress and pressure. He fills our hearts with ease and helps us raise our heads with courage. Great is His love that He bends down to lift up the bowed ones and stoops down so that the feeble might lean on Him to stand straight.

From Annoyance To Abundance

"You let men ride over our heads, we went through fire and water, but You brought us to a place of abundance."
Psalm 66:12

We may see men riding over our heads, dominating, oppressing and trampling on us. We may go through overwhelming discomforts, toils and trials. But let us not be disheartened. We will not be immersed or charred but will eventually outshine all hardship and be brought unto green pastures besides still waters, where we will find rest and refreshment and will be enriched with all goodness from God.

Test A Man By His Character

"By their fruits you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?"
Matthew 7:16

Let us not be drawn by the external works or conversations of men. Men with fruit of faith, holiness, peace, joy or comfort are to be admired but those who prick and pierce, giving pain and agitation to our soul are to be eluded. Let us not expect any good fruit from such evil breeds.Though the flowers are pretty, leaves so colourful & barks so elegant, it is the fruit that determines.

I Shall Not Be Moved

"I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
Psalm 16:8

When the honor of God and the execution of His mission is our exclusive target, we can constantly feel His companionship, consent and care. No threat or terror can affect our relationship with Him or our progress in life. Let us therefore foresee the Lord before us in all our whereabouts, in all circumstances, in each task that we do and in all our pleasure. May our eyes be rigid to turn only unto Him at all times.

Assured Reward For Our Sincerity

"Then men will say, "Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth."
Psalm 58:11

God who presides over all human affairs sustains the righteous and opposes the wicked, though it may not seem so at present. No affair that happens to us comes by fate but by God's plan and purpose. Let us wait patiently for His divine intervention, which will surely be favorable to us. Let us never giv up but be strong, because we will see our sincerity being rewarded. We still have a future hope which will not be cut off.

See More Evidence Of God's Power

".. You will see greater things than these."
John 1:50

Our omniscient God monitors us even when and where human eyes do not notice us. Nothing about us is undisclosed to Him. He sees all our in and out. He knows more about us than we know of ourselves. We never need to feel alone or ignored because God is behind our every single activity. He who has begun His good work in us will carry it on to completion. He who has dealt with us miraculously will deal with us with more abundant and precise evidence of his eternal power and Godhead.

Desire, Believe, Take Possession

"..great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.."
Matthew 15:28

A desire to be delivered out of our problems, whether it be sickness, debts, conflicts, etc. is the first requisite for a remedy. Any hinderance on our way to receive our benefit should not brush us off but keep us moving forward with faith to acquire it. Let us not be discouraged over any delay. Faith with persistent prayer and humility will help us reap the fruits of our wish.

Will Spring-time Come?

"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."

Genesis 8:22

No human prudence can ever change a season. It is God's divine omnipotence that causes the break of a day and set of the sun. He who keeps His promise to the earth will keep His word to us. He who brings wonderful changes in the seasons will never forget to revise our term. His promises and purposes for us will prevail. Let us expect changes and believe that everything would be for our good.

Beware Of Traps

"Free me from the trap that is set for me, for You are my refuge."
Psalm 31:4

Someone around us always wants our fall. They either try to conquer us by force or ensnare us by being foxy. Their plot will be to crash our marriage, studies, job, finance, character, etc. Let us call on God, our Sustainer, who only can save our neck from any entanglement.

Rest For The Soul

"Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you."
Psalm 116:7

When anxiety messes up our spirit and when sorrow annoys our mind, let us seek to find rest in God alone, from whom we have tasted the blessed solace in our past. So when we are agitated again, let us turn to Him who attends to us with the highest tolerance and consideration, no matter how many times we go to Him. He always deals with us magnanimously, supplementing His love for us, thereby easing our soul.

Enjoy New Life

"..if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come."
2 Corinthians 5:17

If we are unified with Christ, deriving all our livelihood from Him, we will undergo a drastic change in our life that would transform us into a new person with new intentions and principles. All our former pride and self-dependence will vanish and everything will be reformed. We will be fresh with new lively hopes and move forward with joy that nothing in this world can give us. Let us get hooked up with God and enjoy the new life.

God Sees "Me"

"..You are the God who sees me.."
Genesis 16:13

God is omniscient. He has a total knowledge of the human race and sees the whole lot of people on the earth.But He places a very close, attentive look on us, as if there is nobody else for Him to look at. He examines even our thoughts and imaginations.He sees our tears and sigh. He sees our troubles and our needs. What a privilege to know that God's look is singled out on us, never forgetting or missing us out!

Replace Radiance For Darkness

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you."
Isaiah 60:1

To recover out of our ignoble and deadly condition, God beckons us to get out of all our dust and be enlightened by His presence so that we can enjoy light ourselves and impart it to others. He is ready to replace all our gloomy darkness with His radiance. We who were once lost in darkness will now become light ourselves, for God will be our dawn and splendor.
