Thoughts for another day


September 27, 2010

Today's verse: Deut. 11:25. There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)



Have you an enemy so strong, the mere mention of his name is enough to send a chill down your spine or whose footsteps you dread to hear and wish you weren't alive to look at his face? Well, here's something that’s soup for your soul - God's Words in our Scripture. They'll comfort and assure you that He, the God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob is around to smite the very strength in your enemies' hearts and fill them with a kind of dread that's inexplicable.



The mere Presence of God is enough to send shudders of fright in your enemies. I remember a real story of a woman who got delayed at work and had to cross a lonely park on her way home. The park was filled with thugs and muggers, who had no qualms of killing people for a few dollars. Yet, saying a small prayer she entered and crossed the park and reached home safely but a woman after her was murdered. When the cops sought witnesses who were in a park a few minutes before, she went to the station and identified some of the suspect muggers the cops had rounded up. When they were questioned whether they saw her, they said yes. Being further questioned, why they didn't mug her they simply said, 'how can you mug a person with a dozen amazingly huge body-guards!' But this lady knew none of her body guards!!!



Where my friend did they come from - sent obviously by the LORD God Almighty for the defense of His child, enough to fill the muggers with dread of her. So it is with any child of God who trusts Him completely. He will send His angels to guard them and ensure they come to no harm for He loves them and will protect them so none will be able to as much as scratch the skin on their arms.
