TODAY’S WORD
In 2 Kings 6, a Syrian army was sent to capture one man, the prophet Elisha. Surrounded by the enemy, Elisha prayed a simple bold prayer: “Lord, please make them blind.” Not only were the soldiers struck blind, but Elisha led them into Samaria where the king of Israel captured them. When things come against you and you’re tempted to get worried and afraid, remind yourself that God is the Guardian of your soul. He has a hedge of protection around you, a bloodline that the enemy cannot cross, a shield about you. He’s going to rescue you from every trap. You don’t have to figure it out. The same God who made blind eyes see can make seeing eyes blind. He has all kinds of ways to protect you. You don’t have to go through life worrying, afraid, wondering how it’s going to work out. All you have to do is stay close to God. Live from a place of peace, a place of faith. Keep thanking Him that He’s protecting you, knowing that your Guardian God is watching over you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that I have turned to You, my Shepherd, the Guardian of my soul. Thank You that You are the stronghold of my life, so I need not fear. When things come against me, help me to remember that You have me in the palm of Your hand. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
