Kept, Preserved, Protected, Loved Every Minute

Kept, Preserved, Protected, Loved Every Minute

Psalm 94:17-19 (NCV)  If the LORD had not helped me, I would have died in a minute. 18 I said, "I am about to fall," but, LORD, your love kept me safe. 19 I was very worried, but you comforted me and made me happy.

I can so relate with the writer of this Psalm, when he says "if the Lord had not helped me, I would have died in a minute."Probably more like a second!! So many times it seems as if the wind and waves of life come at us from every direction, threatening to sink us! But every single time our Savior comes to us, in His covenant love, in His awesome omnipotency, and brings us out of trouble and into armloads of salvation. Today I am so very thankful for the blessing of this faithful, covenant love of Jesus Christ, which always and in every circumstance comes to meet me on the battlefields of my life.

Psalm 59:9-10 (MSG) Strong God, I'm watching you do it, I can always count on you. 10 God in dependable love shows up on time, shows me my enemies in ruin.
Today look for God. Look for your Strong God, and look with an anticipation of His coming to you right on time with armloads of salvation!

No longer worried...comforted and made happy,

Pastor Matt
