This is something that I just need to share with you today! I have been reading The Passion Translation on my bible app for sometime now, but I had to buy one. Ok, I know! I’m old school, but there is something about holding that book in my hand, highlighting and writing notes in it! Anyway, I am loving The Passion Translation and am really enjoying the one I bought!
So, this morning in my quiet time with the Lord I was led to Psalm 121. I have always enjoyed this passage, but WOW! This morning when reading it from TPT, I was so overwhelmed with these awesome promises and I want to share it with you.
God Protects Us
Psalms 121 A song of the stairway
1–2 I look up to the mountains and hills, longing for God’s help.
But then I realize that our true help and protection
come only from the Lord,
our Creator who made the heavens and the earth.
3 He will guard and guide me, never letting me stumble or fall.
God is my keeper; he will never forget nor ignore me.
4 He will never slumber nor sleep;
he is the Guardian-God for his people, Israel.
5 Jehovah himself will watch over you;
he’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence.
6 He’s protecting you from all danger both day and night.
7 He will keep you from every form of evil or calamity
as he continually watches over you.
8 You will be guarded by God himself.
You will be safe when you leave your home
and safely you will return.
He will protect you now,
and he’ll protect you forevermore!
We take the promises of God and appropriate them by believing them and speaking them over our life. So, take this passage, speak it aloud over yourself and your family everyday, at home or when you leave home! When we believe in our heart and speak it forth, decreeing it over ourselves we can expect His promises to us to come to pass! 1 Corinthians 1:20 says “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.”
What awesome promises of God’s protection for us! Believe them and speak them for yourself and your family today.
Blessings to you!
