God made us with an innate need not only to love but also with a need to be secure. Without both love and a feeling of safety in our lives we tend to suffer psychologically. The only real security in this life is the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. Having God on your side is like having a big brother nobody messes with. It’s like having your own personal bodyguard.
Deuteronomy 33:27 – The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
Psalm 144:2 – He is my loving God and my fortress….in whom I take refuge.
Isaiah 41:13 – For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear; I will help you.
Isaiah 43:13 – From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can oppose what I do.
Malachi 3:6 – For I the Lord do not change.
God’s Word contains prophecy to prove God is who He says He is. The other main reason for prophecy is to comfort believers by letting them know what is coming in the future while giving assurance that God will protect His own from harm. Scripture tells us that God is in control of His creation and will do all that He pleases. If we have made peace with God through faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, then we know we are secure and safe in the loving arms of our Father no matter what happens in the future. Relax and be glad. God is inside you and Satan can’t touch you. Praise God for His love, mercy and grace!
Psalm 55:22 – Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
Jeremiah 17:7 – Blessed is the man who trusts in God and who makes God the source of his trust.
Isaiah 26:4 – Trust in the Lord forever for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.
Isaiah 46:4 – Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
