Guided and Guarded

March 20

Life on planet Earth is fraught with challenges. Hidden dangers lurk in unsuspected places. The sudden and unforeseen calamity can assail at any time. What seems like a quiet and prosperous life can be turned topsy-turvy at any given moment without apparent provocation.

Life on planet Earth is precarious at best and life-threatening at worst. There seems to be no way to avoid the potential, unwanted eventualities that can intrude themselves into man’s optimistic plan for success and happiness.

Unless…unless man has an unshakable faith in the One who has given Himself to make life secure for time and beautiful for eternity. Revelation 7:17 says, “The Lamb at the center of the throne will be your shepherd; He will lead you to springs of living water. And God will wipe away all tears from your eyes.”

The believer in Jesus needn’t fear the unseen eventualities that intrude into every life. The person of faith need only hold the hand of the Lord to know he is being led in safety, and that the entirety of his journey until its final day will be guided and guarded by the One whose own journey in time made his secure unto eternity.
