I read in the psalms that God will give his angels charge over me to keep me in all my ways. Psalm 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Elisha knew that God was his protector. He prayed for God to open the eyes of his servant and let him see all the angels that protected him so that he would not worry. 2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Even the devil knows that God will miraculously protect his people. When he tried to tempt Jesus on the mountain, he tried to use that knowledge against him. Mathew 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. I know that God is my protector. In the trying times that are upon us in the world today we need to remember where our help comes from. We need to learn to lean upon the Lord and trust in him that he will keep us and never fail us. Psalm 121:1-3 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Troubled times are coming upon this world, but God has told his children not to worry. It doesn't matter how much we try to prepare for the disasters that are coming, we can never be prepared. We are told in God's word to not worry about tomorrow. Mathew 6:36 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. God wants his children to have one thing only on their minds and that is LOVE. He wants us to live our lives on a daily basis, loving him with all of our hearts, soul, mind and strength and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Mark 12:28-31 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. If we can do this and live upright before him, letting our light shine unto the world. God will hold us in the palm of his hand. He said that NOTHING COULD PLUCK US OUT OF HIS HAND. I am standing upon his word and trusting in him to keep me. John 10:27-30 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.
