Safety in Dangerous Times

We can be safe in the midst of the most dangerous situations when we understand that God’s covenant with us includes safety and protection. It’s part of His plan of salvation. In faith, God wants us to begin to believe His Word and promises.

When our faith is shaky, however, we tend to contain Him in small areas or put God in a box and say, “Okay, God I’m gonna let You out only on Sunday for an hour. Once I leave church or once I turn the stream off, I’m going back to my own thing.” The response to that is:no.

We must activate our faith so that we can be beneficiary of God’s protection, this involves inviting Him into our daily experience. We have to understand that we will experience His intervention and protection in our everyday affairs only to the degree that we allow Him entrance.

I don’t know about you, but I have learned to welcome and invite God in everyday. I say, “Come on in, God. Get involved in every area of my life. I need You to get involved in my life; in my financial affairs and how I spend money; get involved in my emotions.” Guess what? God wants to be, in a sense, your security blanket - you don’t leave home without Him! He desires to be with you everywhere you go. You maybe in dangerous situations or living in an area that doesn’t feel secure, but I’m telling you the safest place in the whole wide world is in the will of God.

That’s where you have His protection and covering. He has thoughts to prosper you. I meet Christians sometimes that wonder why things aren’t happening in their lives as they want them to, but it’s all about how much time is being put into an authentic personal relationship with God.

In our natural relationships, we can’t get to know people that we don’t spend time with; it works the same way with God. If we give Him no quantity time, how can we expect there to be a manifestation of quality in our lives? God freely gives us an inheritance that has our names reserved on it in heaven.

All we have to do to tap into it is simply pull it down and allow it to be manifested. That’s right, we can begin to experience heaven on earth because we are heirs of an inheritance that protects our lives and delivers us from danger. We are the redeemed of the Lord.

You maybe in dangerous situations or living in an area that doesn’t feel secure, but I’m telling you the safest place in the whole wide world is in the will of God.
