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.
Deuteronomy 33:12
The Lord will provide the shelter and safety that your life desires; however, it is your choice as to whether you dwell in it or not… The last book of the law reminds us that when we align ourselves with the will of God, we don’t have to fear the circumstances or situations that we face. In Christ, we know that we have safety in His arms… Those who walk in the will of God are promised safety… This is not to be confused with peace all the days of your life, but rather that you can have confidence in knowing that you are covered and protected by the King of kings... It is important to note the differences as we will see storms rage, and wars take place, but we are to take comfort in knowing that these things will not overtake us, and though you we see them, they will not stand too long… We must come to accept and realize that every day of our lives, a battle is being fought, some days we take a step forward, and some days we take a step back… Whatever the case, we are taught that the beloved (those who are dear to the heart of God) shall dwell in safety… When you choose the will of God, you are then covered under the blood of Jesus… This is the same blood that paid for our sins, the same blood that made the death angel pass over the houses of God’s children, and the same blood that Jesus sweat in the Garden of Gethsemane… Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou will keep you in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee!” We have a comforting assurance today through God’s word! He has promised that if we are the sheep of His pasture and the children of His blood, we shall be protected and kept through the struggles of life! Also, note where God dwells (between his shoulders)... As Ephesians 6:12 says, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood..." The battle we face is in the spirit realm and we must have our minds renewed and steadfast on Jesus. Make no mistake about it, God dwells within you and you can find solace in knowing that today. He is with you, don't become weary in well-doing!!!
You are covered by His blood; you are protected by His sacrifice, so live according to His will and fight the good fight!!!!!!!!
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
