If God is your Protector, evil People will not harm you

 





Hebrews 13:6 says, "So we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'"

This verse highlights Our confidence in God's protection and assistance in adversity.

First, "The Lord is my helper" emphasizes God's active involvement in the Our lives. This phrase reflects the presence of God as a helper and protector of His people. In Exodus 18:4, Moses testifies, "The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh." Similarly, Psalm 118:7 affirms, "The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Indeed God is the protector and deliverer of His people.

Second, "I will not fear; what can man do to me?" This is assurance we have freedom from fear because of God's presence and assistance. There is nothing a man can do to harm you if you have made God your protector.

Throughout Scripture, we find numerous instances where God's people were delivered from the hands of their enemies. For example, in 2 Kings 6:16, Elisha reassures his servant, "Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." The assurance of God's presence and his divine protection empowers us to face challenges with courage and confidence.

Throughout the Bible, we see God's protection for His people against evil men and their schemes:

- In the story of Daniel in the lions' den (Daniel 6), we witness God's miraculous intervention to protect Daniel from the plots of wicked men. Despite their efforts to harm him, Daniel remained faithful to God, and God delivered him unharmed.
- The story of Joseph in (Genesis 37-50) illustrates God's protection amidst adversity. Despite being betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery, Joseph ultimately rose to prominence in Egypt, as God's providential plan unfolded to save His people from famine.

As we face challenges and confront the schemes of evil men, we can take comfort in the assurance that God is our helper and protector. From biblical examples of God's intervention to save his people, we are encouraged to trust in God's Protection and face adversity with courage and faith.

PRAYER: Lord I surrender my life to you, protect me from the schemes and attacks of evil men. I believe you are with me wherever I go and in whatever I do. Amen

    And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “ Lord , I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 'II Kings 6:15-17

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders of Israel met w

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. Even if you ju

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all
