Covered by God
Deu 33:12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
Benjamin is called the beloved of the Lord. I pray that this is how God sees you. As a special son who must be protected and kept safe – no matter the circumstance. Moses blesses Benjamin with divine safety. Who can reach through the umbrella of God to hurt his beloved. Who can take what God has covered between his shoulders. If God has called you beloved, who can call you desolate?
Dear reader …I pray for you and it will be said – God kept you safe and not men. No evil will be able to reach you anymore for you will be closely kept under God’s cover. Spiritually you will be covered. Mentally you will covered. Physically, you will be covered. Financially you will be covered. God Himself will be your insurance against every evil wind. Where things fall apart, you will be standing high. Where others fail you will be going even higher. Where storms pull down lives, yours will be standing tall. Where the earth opens to swallow everything on its path, its mouth will shut before you. The blood of Jesus will cover you from the power and lure of sin, you will be covered from the tongue of men and the arrows of your enemies. You will be safe from the counsel of evil men. You will be hidden from confusion and discord. No wonder … you shall be called the beloved of God. So shall it be in Jesus name. Have faith in Jesus. Believe in Him and His cover and be saved.
Song.
Working will not save me; Purest deeds that I can do,
Holiest thoughts and feelings too, Cannot form my soul anew;
Working will not save me.
Jesus wept and died for me; Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make me free, He alone can save me.
Weeping will not save me; Though my face were bathed in tears,
That could not allay my fears, Could not wash the sins of years;
Weeping will not save me.
Waiting will not save me; Helpless, guilty, lost I lie,
In my ear is mercy’s cry; If I wait I can but die:
Waiting will not save me.
Praying will not save me; All the prayers that I could say
Could not wash my sins away, All I owe could never pay:
Praying will not save me.
Faith in Christ will save me; Let me trust Thy gracious Son,
Trust the work that He has done, To His arms, Lord, help me run;
Faith in Christ will save me.
Prayer : Lord Jesus, increase my faith in you – that I may be saved. Amen.
