STANDING BY ME

2 SAMUEL 22:2 (MSG)
God is bedrock under my feet,
the castle in which I live,
my rescuing knight.


2 TIMOTHY 4:17 (MSG)
But it doesn’t matter—the Master stood by me and helped me spread the Message loud and clear to those who had never heard it. I was snatched from the jaws of the lion!

THE ESSENCE
God stands by his people. 

DAILY FODDER
What are the threats in your life that make you aware of your need for a savior? How do you feel knowing that God is standing watch in your life?

PRAYER 
Savior, I'm grateful that you are standing by me. Forgive me for growing anxious over the current challenges because I've forgotten how you have saved me from the jaws of lions in the past. Help me remember and keep me aware of your presence. You are my rescuing knight. Amen. 

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
     we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
     so that everything that happens here will align
     with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
     and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. 
Amen.
