Day 15: The LORD’s Proven Protection

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings, you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler."

Psalm 91:1-4

"The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!"

Psalm 34:7-8

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea."

Psalm 46:1-2

Devotional

The LORD, God Almighty, is our paramount Protector.

He is faithful and able to shield and deliver us from the fiery trials we face.

Though storms may rage and circumstances look grim, we can find refuge and strength in our steadfast Savior.

Jesus said: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Because of His constant presence, we can find comfort and courage to endure and overcome with the strength He provides.

Men of God

In life, we face threats, uncertainties, and countless opportunities to worry.

How should we respond?

These verses remind us that the Almighty’s protection is constant and trustworthy for all who trust in Him.

If we fear the LORD alone, we have no reason to fear anyone or anything else.

Holy reverence, wholehearted trust, and humility are right responses to our awesome God.

His perfect love casts out all other fears.

The man who takes refuge in our Savior is blessed and strengthened.

Gratitude for God's protection reminds our souls that we can face challenges with confidence, knowing that the LORD is with us.

We are secure in His care.

Application

Take a moment to pause and thank God for His sovereign protection in your life. Reflect on the times He shielded you from harm or gave you strength during difficult seasons. Remember He didn’t allow more than you could handle with Him.

As you encounter challenges, turn to the One who is able to deliver you or empower you to endure with renewed perspective. Proclaim your trust in His unfailing protection and provision, seen and unseen. Seek refuge in His presence through prayer and meditate on His living and active Word.

Prayer
