Part of learning to live with a chronic illness understands that sometimes we need a safe place. A Christian has such a safe place in God.
The same God who was powerful enough to create the heavens and the Earth and who could destroy the world with the flood in Noah’s day is compassionate, kind, and charitable in his nature. He is an unquestionable harbor of protection to those who worship and serve him. He is good. Because of his goodness, the Believer is never ignored or deserted by him. God accepts, keeps, and preserves them Believers of Jesus Christ.
Today’s Bible Verse:
Nahum 1:7 (KJV), “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”
What the Verse Means:
But though God is steadfast in his power, yet he is merciful, gracious, and beneficent in his nature. God is a sure refuge and protection to those who know him as their Savior, worship him, serve him, and put their trust in him. He knows and pays a regard to all such so that they are never overlooked or neglected by him. As such, God approves, owns, and preserves us.
Personalized Prayer Using Today’s Scripture:
- Heavenly Father, I praise you for your goodness.
- Thank you for being my stronghold in the day of trouble.
- Thank you for never neglecting me.
- Thank you for your provision.
