Understand who is protecting you

August 4, 2019 Reading Time: < 1 minute

Psalm 9:9-10; NIV

In any sport, a good defense is enormously important.

We get to enjoy the best defense in the world; we stand under the protection of the almighty Almighty • Where are God’s angels in tragic accidents and catastrophes? Or: the lack of understanding of God’s glorious nature

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (Jesus in John 16:33; NIV)

All the protection you could ever want

  • Nothing can ever get so bad in our lives that we can’t be soothingly reassured in God’s shadow (“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1; NIV)
  • We accept God’s protection, where we find rest in rough times (“I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'” Psalm 91:2; NIV)
  • God holds us under His wings (“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” Psalm 91:4; NIV)
  • God has sent angels to guard us (“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” Psalm 91:11)

Protection from the evil one – 2 Thessalonians 3:3

Of course, you must also accept God’s offered protection. You will not receive anything if God is only your Plan B. God does not respond to needs (otherwise the world would look different, because all human beings have needs); God responds to your faith. So make God Plan A in your life. And: Put your faith in His promises of help and protection over temporary circumstances.

Praying for protection at night

May 29, 2019 Reading Time: < 1 minute

Don’t go to bed in the evening in a wrestling match with worries and fears. Give all your worries to God. He will gladly take care of it for you. Better than you ever could. “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” (Ephesians 3:20, NLT)

Enjoy your identity as a beloved child of God. You can rely on God’s help and protection. Also, of course, tonight:

“I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.” (Psalm 3:5; NIV)

Psalm 3:5 (NIV)

Say this: Thank You, my God, for Your comprehensive help and protection.

You don’t have to know much. Know this one thing in times of distress

April 18, 2018 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Psalm 34:6 (KJV)
Distress and lack are part of the life of this world whose ruler is the devil (1 John 4:4). But our Jesus also has all power on earth (Matthew 28:18) and has overcome all distress and lack for us (John 16:33). We belong to Jesus; We live in this world, but we do not belong to the world (John 17:14), we belong to Jesus (Philippians 3:20).

What is pressing you?

  • Loneliness
  • Sadness
  • Hopelessness
  • Financial lack
  • Life displeasure
  • Aimlessness

Sometimes there’s a whole army of annoyances in our living room and just will not leave.

Reading tip: And we don’t even remember how many tears we’ve cried because there are so many.

I cannot do it anymore, we say and really mean it.

No problem, says our God, I’ll gladly help you.

And this is your certainty, no matter who or what presses you. This is your Bible-based certainty right through the middle of all the trouble:

“This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.” (Psalm 34:6; KJV)

This is really hard, we say.
Oh, says God, don’t worry. Nothing is impossible for me, and I love to help you. You’re the apple of my eye; I never — you hear — let you fall.

And we no longer try to wrestle our worries while lying in bed, but simply rest — with confidence — in the gloriously protective and gloriously safe arms of our God.

You do not have to be scared. I’ll help you. Did I tell you how much I love you?, says God.

No, we lie because we want to hear it again, You haven’t told me yet.
Of course I love you, says our God.
And we sigh with relief and say: I didn’t hear You; what did You say?
And God smiles and says: I love you.

Insomnia and God

June 25, 2017 Reading Time: < 1 minute

God wants you to sleep well and peacefully. To recover. And start tomorrow morning full of energy, into a new day, where God is at your side again with all His love and grace.

Insomnia does not come from God. God no longer punishes you as a born-again Christian. The devil, on the other hand, is a thief; he also steals your sleep – if you let him. Jesus calls the devil a thief; Jesus says: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10; NIV)

David said it like this when he laid down to sleep: “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” (Psalm 4:8; NIV)

  • 3 Bible Verses to help with insomnia and sleeplessness

Be like David. Think that God will give protect you and make you dwell in safety, so you can sleep peacefully.

Say out loud what God is saying to you: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (God in Isaiah 41:10; NIV) – And say this: ‘Insomnia demon, disappear in the name of Jesus Christ from my life – Now!’
