One-minute read.
Walking in step with the Lord gives us divine protection from the enemy. However, we must ensure our hearts align with the Savior’s and not our desires. God is not for us when we stray from the straight and narrow and follow selfish impulses.
For a long time, I defined righteous anger incorrectly. Instead of defining the strong emotion as an offense against the Lord, I thought it meant an offense against me. Just because I view something as right doesn’t make it right. But I could dig my heels in when I felt offended and thought I had the winning view. God didn’t support my stance because it didn’t align with His heart. My offense doesn’t equal God’s.
God does have our backs when we walk in His will. But we must remember we don’t always do what the Lord wants. Our flesh gets the best of us every now and then, and the devil can get a foothold in our sins. When we stray from the Lord, we leave His divine protection and suffer the consequences of our actions.
We do have a heavenly Father who wants the best for us. When we align ourselves with Him, nothing can stop us. Stay close to the Lord, cling to His robes, and experience His divine protection.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for protecting us, covering us with Your wings, and keeping us safe. Please help us cling to You, repenting our sins, and obeying Your commands. Let us live in the shadow of the Almighty, protected and loved.
IJNIP. Amen
