Discipleship Focus: Protection
- Protection: In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us to pray that God might deliver us from evil – even the Evil One. Sometimes we need God’s protection from the sin around us. Sometimes we need protection from the sinful people around us. Other times we need protection from the sin that lies within ourselves. In any case, Jesus’ point is clear. We need protection from the Father to make it through each and every day.
It would
have been simple to write another blog post on Up, especially in this
chapter. However, I believe that three
days on a single focus is good enough.
So today I am going to focus upon protection.
Look at
what the psalmist says. The Lord answers
us in our distress. The Lord is on our
side, why should we fear? We can take
refuge in Him. Our enemies may surround
us, but He surrounds them! When we fall,
the Lord helps us up! He answers
us. He has become our salvation!
This
psalm is full of reasons to give God praise.
But most of the reasons for this praise are that the Lord can protect
us. He is capable of being what we truly
need Him to be in our darkest moment.
