Week 107: Bodyguards

                                      Bodyguards

                                             The Lord preserves the faithful. . . Psalm 31:23

• Cover. . .

• Defense . . .

• Security. . .

          Bodyguards are not just for the privileged few. People who are destitute and living on the streets can have bodyguards. You see, it’s not your worldly status, but it’s your heavenly standing with God that qualifies you for this round-the-clock protection.

                             

                                   For he will command his angels concerning you
                                                 to guard you in all your ways;
                                                                    they will lift you up in their hands,
                             so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-12 (NIV)

            It doesn’t matter how well-built or knowledgeable a human bodyguard is, they cannot stand up against God’s supernatural beings. God’s guards are filled with His POWER. For example:

          In Acts 12:6-10, Peter was bound, and chained sleeping between two guards when God sent His angel to free him. Those guards were not going to stop the plans that God had for Peter. When God was ready for Peter to get out, He sent an angel, and the chains just fell off—Peter escaped.    

                            

          When I was a principal working in a troubled school, the gangs had made the school neutral territory, as if they had a choice. Little did they know—prayer warriors were praying. We envisioned the school surrounded by angels with their swords erected—ready to battle.   
   
         Whatever is coming against you,  just remember:
            

    Your Faith and Obedience in God—Unleashes a Mighty Force!
