Understanding that God has a hedge around us should fill us with peace and confidence. However, it’s important to remember that this protection doesn’t mean we’ll never face difficulties. Instead, God is with us in the midst of trials and tribulation, working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).
Even when we can’t see His hand at work, we can trust that He is still surrounding us with His love and power. So, how do we live and thrive each day? We must cultivate a relationship with God through prayer, worship, and studying His Word. The closer we draw to Him, the more aware we become of His presence and protection.
We must walk and live by faith, trusting that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He has promised. We should live with gratitude, thanking God for His constant care and for the ways He has already protected and provided for us.
No matter what challenges we face, we can take refuge in the truth that we are hemmed in by the Almighty. We abide under His shadow as we dwell in the secret place of the Most High. He is our refuge and our fortress; our God, and in Him we confidently trust. Let this truth anchor your heart and soul, filling you with peace. Know that you are safe in the hands of a loving and powerful God. “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:2 (NIV)
Be encouraged to read and meditate on Psalm 91 as you dwell in Him as He is your refuge.
