“God Is Our Defense”
Thursday, June 6, 2024Key Verse
““He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.” Psalm 62:6
Text — Psalm 62:1-7
Message
Have you been threatened by someone and you immediately run to your dad or mom for your defence and protection? You have the confidence that no one can harm you because your dad and mom are with you. God’s defence is greater and stronger than that of your parents. He is the Almighty God Who has power over all things. As your Defence, God protects, preserves and keeps you safe from all harms. He will always send His angels to keep you in all your ways. He is ready to fight for you in all the battles of life.
If God is your defence you don’t need to fear. The psalmist in our text understood this when he said “He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.” You should be like him and put your complete trust in God and you shall be protected from every attack of the enemy. When you are asleep in the night, the glory of God will cover you and no enemy can touch you because you are safe in God’s hand. Everywhere you go, be assured that you are under God’s divine protection.
