READ: Isaiah 49:13-16 (KJV)

13. Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 2:1-29, Psalms 65-67

MESSAGE:

I am yet to see a father whose lifetime commitment is to watch over his children all night, while they sleep throughout their lives, in order to ensure that nothing bad happens to them. Even some security guards fall asleep while on duty but our Heavenly Father watches over us day and night. He neither sleeps nor slumbers (Psalms 121:3-4 ).Thus, if anyone is threatening to attack you, boast about your God who is able to keep you safe. God is neither sleeping nor slumbering, so you can trust Him to safeguard you. Explaining how protective God was over him, Paul said in Galatians 6:17

“From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.”

You have a covenant of everlasting protection as long as you, remain with God. He devised a means to permanently remember you, which is by engraving you on His palms. Don’t you think you’re special?

ACTION POINT:

Spend 30 minutes to thank God for His unfailing protection over your life.

HYMN: I Am Thine O Lord

1. I am Thine, O Lord,
   I have heard Thy voice,
   And it told Thy love to me;
   But I long to rise
   in the arms of faith
   And be closer drawn to Thee.

CHORUS
Draw me nearer,
nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer,
nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to
   Thy service, Lord,
   By the pow’r of grace divine;
   Let my soul look up
   with a steadfast hope,
   And my will be lost in Thine.
3. Oh, the pure delight
   of a single hour
   That before Thy throne I spend,
   When I kneel in prayer,
   and with Thee, my God
   I commune as friend with friend!
4. There are depths of love
   that I cannot know
   Till I cross the narrow sea;
   There are heights of joy
   that I may not reach
   Till I rest in peace with Thee.
