May 2
There is no length to which the Holy One who inhabits eternity will not go in order to bless and guard and keep His children. It is His good pleasure to show Himself strong in the behalf of those who love Him. Though they may go through trial, He is with them to glorify Himself in and to deliver them out of their trouble.
He states His intention very clearly in Psalm 17:7, 8 where we read, “Show Your marvelous loving kindness, O Lord who saves by His right hand those who take refuge in Your name. You guard them from their enemies. You keep them as the apple of Your eye.
As the entire structure of the face is employed to guard the pupil of the eye, from the eyelids, eyebrows and eyelashes to the forehead and cheek bones and bridge of the nose, so the resources of Heaven are arrayed in the defense of the child of God who trusts in the integrity of His name, in the infallibility of His promises.
Our God is faithful and true. He has stated His power and His intention to preserve His own in trouble, to guard them against their enemies, to deliver them in battle and to glorify Himself in all that touches their lives. If He has His angels camped round about those who fear Him and His Holy Spirit within them, what need have they to ever fear!
