Freedom is not being without authority over us (for, as I said, we do not have the resources within ourselves to be autonomous). Freedom is having the right authority over us. God loves us infinitely and when we come under his covering he empowers us to be all that he created us to be. As we live under God’s authority and walk in the path that he has laid out for us then we are indeed invulnerable. Though we might go through times of hardship, yet these hardships will not indicate any failure in the realisation of that purpose. There is no external force that can thwart what God wants to do in us and through us. We will live the full life that God has purposed for us, and nothing can take that away from us. This is the declaration of Psalm 91. The fact is that God is saving you from all sorts of disasters all the time. We don’t notice because life goes on, but the fact that it goes on is always because of God’s protection over us. Because, if the evil one had his way, we would be pounded with disaster after disaster every day. God is protecting you more constantly than you know. There is more divine activity around your life than you could even imagine. You might wonder at times whether God is with you and even whether he really cares for you. You may not be receiving what you want, but you are receiving much from God. It is just so close and so constant that you rarely notice it.
Thank God for his constant care and ask him to help you notice more of what he does.
Read Psalm 91 again.
