Our Security System

Psalm 121:5, 7-8 The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever (NLT),

The above scripture tells us that the Lord himself watches over us. He is always by our side and he has our back, front, etc. He did not assign this task to anyone else, he permanently keeping a vigil over us. What an awesome father! He loves us so much to be by our side during every single moment in our lives. Even in our mess, he remains faithful and committed to us. 

Contrary to what some people may believe, he does not watch over us in order to catch us when we "slip" or make a mistake so that he can punish us. No, he watches over us to protect us from evil. He watches over us to ensure that we embark upon and stay on the path that he has paved for us in life. Even when you miss a step or take a wrong turn, he's there. Nudging you towards the right direction, and he keeps at it until you get back on track (Psalm 37:23 NLT).

If this is the case, why do we get afraid when things seem to not work out. Why do we get afraid when things seem to go haywire? If God himself is watching over us, shouldn't we be rest assured that all is well? Is it because we can't see him physically at our side? Is it because we can not see him physically shading us from evil? Sickness? Poverty? Failure? Shame? Why is it that we tend to believe in what we can see with our physical eyes more than what we can not see? What is unseen is more real than what is seen, after all the world that we see was created from the one that we can not see. The unseen realm is the real deal (2 Corinthians 4:18; Hebrews 11:3)...PAUSE and let that sink in! 

In this part of the world (USA), many people have security systems installed in their homes. In the case of a fire, robbery, medical emergencies, etc these systems are designed to alert the appropriate authority officials. When these officials are alerted, they are trained to arrive on the scene ASAP and to provide a solution to the pending issue.

We have a father that is always on guard, he is ever present. Through his Holy Spirit that dwells within us, he is our helper on call (John 14:16 AMP). There is no issue that the Holy Spirit can not attend to, he is an all around expert (John 14:17 NLT). No subject is off bounds. So the next time, you see fear rearing it's ugly head...alert your inner security system. He is ever present and every ready to help you with every and anything (Psalm 46:1).

Confession: In the name of the Lord Jesus, I declare that I am kept by the father. I refused to be afraid, I refused to be moved because the one who watches over me never slumbers or sleeps. Amen!

Prayer starter: Heavenly father I ask that you help me to always remind that you with me, no matter the situation or circumstance. Help me Father to always be still and know that you are God, Amen.


You're blessed!
