Our Safety Net Is God 

MAY 8 & 9, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 106:43-44 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    Our security in the United States is often a subject of debate. How should the government go about making sure we are secure? Just how many of what we have for centuries consider to be our God given freedoms and liberties are we willing to give up or compromise in order to have a feeling that we and our families are safe? However, our outlook on the subject might be a little bit different if we only knew how many times unaware to us, we have been protected from danger. It might change our opinions if we knew how many terrorist organizations could not reach us because of the security net our nation developed which these terrorists could not penetrate. We often base our view of life here in this country on incomplete information. Many terrorists break through these networks, not because of the government’s negligence, but because a citizen will let them in.

    The same is also true with Christians. How many times has God protected you, and you were not even aware of it? Then when things do go wrong, people tend to blame God. Asking God why He let this or that happen. When, if we could step back and see it from God’s perspective, we would see that our own lifestyles and the things that we do bring about many of our problem. We, like those who have gone before us, are often brought low or troubled in life as today’s verse says, because of our own sinful habits and desires.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    Nevertheless, we can see that there is a rainbow of hope in these verses. When we have finally had enough of our self and our sinful ways and we cry out in true repentance to God, He will regard our afflictions. Even though our problems are of our own design, He is waiting for you to call on Him. He wants to help.
