April 16

And the Lord will create over the whole site, over every dwelling place of Mount Zion and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy (a defence of divine love and protection)”. Isaiah 4:5 (AMPC)

No matter where you are at this exact moment in time, if you are in Christ, you are in the centre of His divine love.  And in this precious and Holy place, you have the promise of His abiding peace and protection, over you, and over all that you do.

Circumstances and situations may wear you out, and people may let you down, but the Lord Himself will pick you up.  He will highlight the path to walk by day and cover you in a canopy of His divine love, all night through. 

When He speaks mountains move; thunder roars from heaven; and those who are set against you are turned back. In the midst of the battle, you are tucked away, under the shadow of His very large wings.  You can rest, and rest assured, that He’s got this, cherished child, and He most definitely has you! 

Prayer:

Dearest Father and Lord, I thank You today that You have gone ahead of me into my future to prepare the way and that You also walk with me, day by day, up close and in the most personal ways!

Today, I place myself under the canopy of Your divine love and defense and I thank You that I can dwell here always, in the richness of Your presence.  Surrounded by Your perfect peace. 

Strengthen me deep within my soul Lord.  Lead, guide, encourage, teach and equip me, for I need You so!

God of My Salvation, I worship You and I celebrate the wonder of Who You are.

In the Holy Name of Jesus, I pray.
