God promises divine protection for them!

One of the blessings of our faithful Heavenly Father is that of divine protection. God promises to protect those who faithfully follow Him and live out their lives with integrity. Your confidence in God and love for God is never in vain. Even though people criticize your faith and integrity, God values your faithfulness. Today, God reminds you that He has seen your love for Him, and your valuable service in his Kingdom. You are precious to Him!  God will fully repay those who have persecuted or criticized your life of faith. There is coming a day when you will even receive apologies from some of them. Always remember, our God is Faithful!

Psalm 31:23 “Love the Lord, all you faithful followers of his! The Lord protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly”.

Who are you trusting in?

Trust is a powerful factor in relationships. Trust engenders honor. Trust ascribes value. Trust says you are important. Trust says I’ve checked you out and you have character and integrity. Psalm 118:8 (AMPC) says: “It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” This is not saying that we cannot trust people. There are trustworthy people around us. It is saying that we need to primarily trust God and His word. He has to be first. If we trust what people say over what God says, it will lead us astray. When God is the bedrock of our lives, nothing people say or do will lead us astray. Jeremiah 17:5 (AMP) says: “Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in and relies on mankind, making [weak, faulty human] flesh his strength, and whose mind and heart turn away from the Lord”. Note how the prophet emphasizes that we must stay away from trusting in weak, faulty flesh. We are not to allow “flesh” to turn our hearts away from the Lord. So today, we need to make a personal assessment and see where our trust is. If it is in the wrong place, today is the perfect day to make the needed adjustment. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths”. Proverbs 3:5,6.
