MY DEFENDER

From now on, no one bothers me; because I bring in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Galatians 6:17

What a special rest it is to know that we can count on the support, security and protection of God. No matter what desert is around us, He is there.

Many times we go through adversities because our own decisions have taken us there, or because God is trying to teach us something. When we are inside that process, we see the desert as something too big and very difficult to cross, however, God sees it as another perfect opportunity to manifest His glory and to form supernaturally upon us.

Once I heard someone mention that where we put our feet, God puts His hand. How powerful! Many times we find ourselves in that situation because of our bad decisions. The feeling of guilt is very great, but our Father comes and says, do not worry, just repent and I fix it. We believe that God is as complicated as we are, but He does not work like that. Only His intervention is enough for things to change. It's ALL we need. We do not need to carry daily that horrible weight of guilt, because that does not move God at all. It moves your faith and confidence that you will be freed again.

You do not need a person who goes with you everywhere to feel saved and supported, says His word that you have His marks and no one can cause you discomfort.

Other times The Lord allows you to go through things that oppress you so that the burden becomes so heavy that you can only cry out to Him.

God is a just judge, he rules over all creation, dictates the laws and absolutely nothing happens to him. Sometimes we despair because it seems like "nothing happens". But rest assured, if you are in His ways and statutes, everything will be fine. Everyone who wants to cause you contention or anger, will be like nothing and perish before You.

We gain value in the Lord, not because of what we have or because of what we are, but because of His presence that inhabits us and is notorious for everyone around us. He is your keeper!
