He Has Got Us Covered...

For you shall not go out with haste,  Nor go by flight;  For the LORD will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.--Isaiah 52:12

 Dear Girls

I love this.  God has got us covered. We do not have to rush...or do anything impulsively.  He goes ahead of us and shows us the way. We do not have to worry about what is coming up from behind because He is our rear guard.  In fact, His grace and mercy follow us and as believers He works all things together for good in our lives.  Paul tells us in Acts 17:28 that in Him we live and move and have our being.  We are encompassed...surrounded...enveloped by our Lord.  The One who inhabits eternity dwells within our hearts and not only makes perfect all things that concern us but also performs all things for us. 

Here is one more for you from Isaiah 54:17


No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,”  Says the LORD.

This is our heritage as His servant.  Security and victory are ours...we can claim these promises as His servants  Protection is mine because I am His child!  Here comes my favorite part. "And their righteousness is from Me."  It is His...not ours.  If I stood in my own righteousness, I would stand ashamed.  But by His grace, I stand in His righteousness, and I look to Him and am radiant and my face is not ashamed.

Love
