DANIEL 6:22 (NLT)Daniel said, "My God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths so that they would not hurt me..."
JOHN 10:27-28 (NLT)
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me...
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God protects his people, leading them forward into full and eternal life.
DAILY FODDER
Recall some of the times in your life when you realized God's protection.
PRAYER
I'm grateful, God, that you protect your people. I acknowledge the presence of your angels in my life. There have been so many times when I should have died, but without explanation, the speeding cars and stray bullets have missed hitting me. I'm sorry for the times when I get anxious. If I think about all the ways you have taken care of me and others I'd be content to leave everything in your hands. But I don't think. Help me to fix my eyes on you and as I follow to forget about all the threats which vie for my attention. I know that you're here and that you are powerful so I'm not going to worry anymore. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
