GOD’S PROTECTION. 2

                             PSALM 91:3-6

Introduction 

When all things are going well, we tend to rest and be at peace

When your dreams seem to be coming to pass, it’s easy to remain hopeful and excited 

When it looks like everything is going according to plan,  no sign of the enemy or threats in sight, we tend to feel comfortable 

But there are times when all of a sudden everything changes around you, and it seems like it portrays a picture completely opposite of our dreams, expectation and it looks like nothing will work, and our lives are threatened 

When that time comes, we all need protection, we need someone who can bring stability, someone who can be reliable

Last week we spoke of God as a refuge and a fortress 

Surely: Without fail because He cannot fail to do what He promised

5 Things God will do as He protects you: for those who dwell in the secret place

He will save you from the Fowler’s snare

He will save you from the deadly pestilence 

Deadly/ noisome: havvah : which means a rushing calamity 

One that sweeps everything before it

No hidden danger or deadly diseases will be able to harm you 

He will cover you with His feathers

Not only does He protect us: In His protection we also experience His care

Under His wings you will find refuge 

You will experience His love, protection, strength and gracious presence 

In the shadow of His wings we are protected from everything that would work contrary to His purpose in our lives 

Because He is our help, we can sing in the shadow of His wings

Paul and Silas, keep your midnight song

Daniel/ Shadrack , Meshach and Abednigo: keep your faith

His faithfulness will be your shield and your rampart

His faithfulness protects you as a person, and protects those around you, you are defended

Because God is faithful, I will trust Him to always fulfill His promises

The faithful love of God never ends, our unfaithfulness does not change His faithfulness 

Because His mercies never come to an end

His mercies begin afresh every morning 

God’s faithfulness is immeasurable: Psalm 36:5

“Your love O Lord reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies

Closing

Even through calamity He remains faithful 

Our faith in God as our protector will carry us through all that we face

When there is a snare, keep your eyes on the Lord

Psalm25:15 “ My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only He will release my feet from the snare

Listen this morning, let your eyes be continuously on the Lord till He shows His mercy

He is God and remains in control whether it is day, or it is night

We therefore have continuous protection 

Trust Him with your situation
