Safe and Protected…

Proverbs 18:10 “The name of the Lord is like a strong tower. Those who do what is right can run to him for protection.”

I like looking at the picture that shows a tall lighthouse with huge waves smashing around it. The tower stands tall and solid while the ocean beats at it trying to destroy it.

That image always reminds me of Proverbs 18:10. It says that the Lord’s name is like this strong tower. It is a place that is immovable, safe and protected no matter what comes against it. It is a safe place where we can escape the violent storms of life and gain respite in times of difficulty.

Now, the key to entering our tower of protection is very simple. As we do things God’s way, the right way, we get access 24 hours a day – 7 days a week. We can run there no matter what is threatening us. We’re never shut out or excluded when we do things God’s way.

There will be times in life when we must run into His protection. He wouldn’t have provide it if we didn’t need it. So no matter what is threatening us, trying to wear us down or plans to destroy us God’s Tower of Protection is open for access. At these times RUN into His protection and everything will be OK!

Run To Jesus…

Rev 22:13 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the FIRST AND the LAST.”[KJV]

Today’s scripture contains a very powerful key for us to hold in our spirit every day!

This scripture is from the book of Revelations and Jesus is speaking. As Jesus was in the beginning of your situation, He is also in your present. Jesus is going to stay put with you until you have accomplished the goal and received the reward. Jesus is not running away from you or your situation, He is intimately involved with you. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, He is the beginning and the end and He is the FIRST AND LAST. He wants to be totally immersed in every area of your life!

Live life as excited about what you’re going through today, as you will be when you receive your promised reward. Be as expectant and excited today as you were on the first day you set out on your journey with Jesus.

It is vital to keep your faith, hope and energy focused towards the goal. Positioning Jesus in the very centre of your need through prayer, reading & applying His Word is essential to success in life. When you do this you’ll apprehend the prize of your high calling in Christ Jesus.

Remember Jesus is as much in the beginning of things as He is in the end – He is the FIRST AND LAST!
