SURROUNDED
BY GOD
Memorise:
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his
people from henceforth even forever. Psalms 125:2
Read:
Job 1:8-11
Although
traditionally, mountains refer to problems, yet to protect His own, God takes
on the form of a mountain. Psalms 125:2 says:
As
the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people
from henceforth even forever.
When
God surrounds your life with His presence as a mountain, you become immune to
all attacks of your enemies. It is not that they won't try: they will but their
attempts will fail. Although many believers take for granted that they are
under God's protective cover, especially because it is not physical or tangible
to them, yet it is very visible to their enemies, especially those who operate
in the negative spiritual realm. For so long, Satan desired to harm )ob but
could not because of this protective wall he called an hedge.
Hast
not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he
hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance
is increased in the land, lob 1:10 The enemy knows the areas God's protection
covers in the lives of believers. They know the areas that are exposed, which
is where they would normally attack. If you are toying with sin, you are
gradually exposing yourself to the enemies. From the reply of Satan, he must
have been frustrated in previous attempts to harm |ob. He must have wondered:
"How come |ob is just enjoying all God's blessings and ! can't even touch
him?" It was another case of Daniel in the lions' den. He could touch just
anybody else but not |ob. As long as you are -i rider the protective cover of
the Lord, the enemies will be frustrated concerning you. They will look for
every opportunity to strike at you but finding none, they will attempt to
distract you from the path of holiness into sin. If they can succeed in getting
you to sin and especially to secretly continue in that sin, God will withdraw
and they will take over. Ensure you remain under His cover, living holy before
His presence.
PRAYER
POINT
Father,
grant me the grace to remain under Your cover.
