God’s People will Survive

My thoughts about the verses:

There is so much we are to be thankful for.  Everyday God gives us new things that make our world more complete.  We are blessed with sunshine and with rain.  We are blessed with fresh air to breath.  We are blessed with water to quench our thirst.  We are blessed with food to nourish our body.  Yet, most of all we are blessed with a God that loves us more than anything else.

We are to praise God for all that is given to us.  Though things may seem better for our enemies this is only short lived.  God blesses the people that follow with the substance of eternal life.  We are anointed with the gift of salvation through the Messiah who died for us.  We have no true fears because we have the protector with us at all times.

There have been many times in history when all seemed lost for God’s people.  Yet, over and over again they survive.  God helps them make it to the other side.  He helps them walk in the everlasting light of love.  We will survive because God desires for the people to live freely.

People may come up against us with swords yet; we have the sword of truth in our arsenal.  The Good Book is the only weapon that we truly need.  It guides us and directs us to a brighter tomorrow.  Nothing can be done to separate us from the saving grace of God.  We are given the love of God through song and praise.  We are lifted from our despair from the one that sacrificed all for us.  We will be rewarded if we only follow God.  Many a man will try to say that we do not deserve the gifts that we have been given.  Yet, God has set us in a place of great honor.  We are free because God is our Sovereign leader.  Let no one ever come between you and God.  When struggles seem unbearable remember that God will help you get through it.  When your eyes are filled with the dark of night know that the sun will emerge.  The Son of God will be the beacon that you need to get you through the struggles of life.

Prayer:

Dear God we thank you for being the answer to our every question.  We praise you for walking with us through the struggles of life.  Help us stay focused on you.  Help us to remember that you are our shield and our strength.  Help us remember that you will ensure your people will survive no matter the trial.  In the name of the Great Protector we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you ever felt alone?  Have you asked God to be your guide?  Are you willing to trust in God?  Do you realize that you will survive if you allow God to work in your heart?
