Our lives are full of ups and downs, from emotional turmoil to physical pain. So how do we deal with the ups and downs? Where do we go for comfort? Like a mother bird sheltering her young underneath her wings, so is God's protection over us. He is our shelter from the storm. God is sovereign over all and He will be our guide through this thing called life.
Getting through our fears and anxieties is not an easy feat. We need a place where we feel safe from harm. God provides His safety and protection from our emotional and physical troubles. Having God's protection does not mean that struggles and distress won’t occur.
Scripture shows us that Jesus allowed the disciples to experience the fear and perturbation. He permitted them to suffer because He had something far more important in mind. Jesus wanted to teach them to recognize their own weakness, His strength, and in turn, their need of Him.
We should not live in trepidation, but in confidence that God is in control. We need not fear tomorrow; He will supply and meet our spiritual and physical needs. God is faithful and He keeps His promises. We should never doubt His word even in our hardest times.
May these Bible verses give you a sense of confidence that no matter the situation or circumstance, God's protection is covering you. His love and strength are your shield, and His word is your armor. May God bless you abundantly!
