Protected From Harm

 August 5, 2024

Verse of the day - Psalm 23:5 (NRSV)

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

In chapter 8 of my first book, Jesus assures us that we will be protected from harm.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

There will always be wolves and lions in your life trying to take you away from Me.  Always be aware of these type of people.  If you are strong in your spiritual life, they cannot harm you.  The devil will come disguised as a wolf or lion to try to trick you into believing  your situation is hopeless.  He knows when you are weak in your spiritual life.  When you are at your weakest point, that is when the devil will try to attack you.  Any time the devil tries to destroy you by his wicked and evil ways, pray to Me.  I will protect you from all harm.  Remember to come to Me for rest.  I will relieve you of all your cares and worries.  When you lose your way, I will gently bring you back to My fold.  I tend to My flock always.

The wolves and lions that Jesus is referring to are the type of people who try to get us to do wrong.  They try to disguise the things they want us to do by making it appear as though it was right. Through being strong in our spiritual life, we will be able to discern right from wrong.  Even though we may sometimes stray away from God's fold, Jesus will send someone to help us find our way back to Him.  We are the sheep and Jesus is the Good Shepherd.   Jesus will always be there to welcome us back with open arms.
