The eternal God is your refuge and dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He drove the enemy before you and thrust them out, saying, Destroy”! Deuteronomy 33:27 (AMP)

There are many things in life we can choose to agree with—what we see on the news, what we hear others say, what we fear may happen, but that may not always be the best thing to add our faith and agreement to. However, when God Himself tells you that He has you in His care, that He is your strong tower and safe place, that He will drive your enemies out and destroy them—whatever those internal or external enemies may be— with this you can most certainly believe in, and agree!

He rescues you from the things you see and from the things you cannot. He saves you from the hard places you find yourself in now; gently shepherds you away from the pain ahead; pushing the dangers back; keeping the lies at bay. 

He goes ahead of you and prepares the way, always mindful of your needs; always aware of His purposes specifically planned for you. Nothing is too difficult, or too heavy for Him to bear. No stronghold or limit can remain when His words of freedom are spoken! 

Chosen child, you are the one He is waiting for, to show Himself strong on your behalf. Run to Him, as fast as you can, and take every weight, care, and concern with you. His everlasting arms are open wide; His heart of love turned towards you. 

Stand strong in the power of His promised filled words over your life. The Eternal God, Creator over all, speaks in your defence. Is always by your side.

Prayer:

Dearest Father and Lord, I do run to You today. I run to the safety of Your arms. I run to the shelter of Your love. I run to the security of the promise-filled words You have spoken over my life.

I hide myself in the unshakeable truth of Who You are and the unbreakable truth of who I am to You. 

Thank You Jesus that You go ahead of me, driving out the darkness, destroying the destroyer; ushering in Your perfect peace, God’s holy plans; and Your marvellous light. 

I tuck myself up today in the shelter of Your everlasting arms. I bring my own heart and life, and all those I love with me, too. 

Gracious and giving God, in all things, each and every day, I hide my heart, and my life, in You.
