A while back we posted about the loss of my beloved dog, “Shotsky” (listed under God’s signs). The Lord had gave me a most wonderful pet and I was privileged to have him for about 7 years. But after he was gone I started to become concerned. I thought, ” I have lost my security alarm”. He was my guard dog and as such, once in a while while I would be sleeping , he would bark if he heard any noise.
So I began to think about another “security blanket” in the form of another dog. But as the weeks went by and while I was thinking about securing another dog, the Lord woke me up one day with His words–” You think I can’t protect you?” Wow! That struck me deeply!
After I heard this, a vision was given me of a police officer standing near my window looking at a burglar suspect say, “What are you doing?” Then the suspect looks up wide-eyed and runs for his life! The Lord basically said He could send His angels at anytime in a flash of a moment to stop any trouble.
This was quite a rewarding revelation. I pondered this thought and it became greater and greater in understanding, of His great and unique ability to protect us.
In Scripture we are told to be kind to strangers because the Lord could be allowing His angels to visit us (Hebrews 13:2). So we can rest assured that any security needed, a police officer, a commando, an army, whatever, the Lord is able to place before us at a moments notice.
As the quote in the picture says, ” The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” (Psalms 34:7-8)
It really is based on faith and belief. At times I have felt the power of the Lord so clearly that I would almost be ready to face a bad situation and call upon the Lord to see the danger fall to the ground. This is powerful faith.
We know that prophets such as Noah and David, went forth and did their duties knowing the Lord had their back.
Noah endured decades of ridicule and taunting, yet he remained courageous because he knew the Lord was with Him and would secure him and his family.
David stepped up to Goliath because he too, knew that the Lord had his back. Oh what faith and strong belief can do to one’s walk!
It all comes down to faith and trust. Do we really believe that the Lord can do this or that? Have we considered the Lord first in our life’s problems and concerns?
Once we really believe that He can protect us, we walk around with a new confidence in Him, and new love for Him.
Our Lord said, “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matt.10:31) and ” for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.”(Zech. 2:8)
We have the great Eyes watching us. He doesn’t miss one small thing. Therefore, we should not worry and do as the Lord said, “…Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”(Mark 5:36)
We know that we cannot please God without faith. “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).
In the near future the saints of God will have total security from the Lord.
“At our happy, holy state the wicked were enraged, and would rush violently up to lay hands on us to thrust us into prison, when we would stretch forth the hand in the name of the Lord, and they would fall helpless to the ground.” (Early Writings, p.15)
… “Run, say to that young man, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of people and livestock in it.Then I, Myself, will be a protective wall of fire around Jerusalem, says the LORD. And I will be the glory inside the city!” (Zechariah 2:4-5)
Can we imagine the extent of protection from the Lord? The upcoming prophecies are to be fulfilled and His security and protection will be there. We can imagine going to bed at night and not even thinking of locking the doors! To walk in the moonlight streets late at night without a worry.
All this is yours and mine, all we must do is make Him King and Ruler of our life. Abide by His word as said by His prophets. Agree to pass on sins of this world and commit and convert.
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)
May you exercise your faith, trusting in the One who can give you the only security worth having– The Lord’s Security.

One of the greatest lessons we can learn, I believe the greatest is to learn to trust in God. May we all come to that point of total surrender to our lord and to His heavenly care and protection,.

I have just spoke to my husband’s family yesterday. And the mother-in-law (high on neuroticism scale) was saying: “make sure you lock the doors and put the alarm on and all that stuff”. (Btw, we don’t have a burglar alarm :D). She was saying that because I am going to have extra hours at work and won’t be at home FOR A BIT longer. So I said to her: “You know, we have the best protection that there is in the whole world.(PAUSE) God’s heavenly angel’s are guarding our house.” I said, on several occasions we forgot to lock the door and nobody crept in. And we live in a relatively dangerous area. All praise to the Lord! I said to her: I pray for protection each day. And so she asked me to pray for them too :))
