Our LORD Forever

How blessed are those who fear God, for He will protect us without fail.  He provides everlasting assurance (without any fine print or disclaimers) that He will continue to protect and provide for us without fail.  When I travel I typically purchase travel insurance, but all insurance policies have limited coverage conditions.  Not so with our God!  Before we even make a claim He knows of our needs and is able to help in real time.  He is not limited by distance or regular business hours and remains faithful and true forever.

Lifetime warranties are great, but God does not restrict His goodness towards His people to our lives on earth:  His promises and power endure forever!  He does not only care about our mortal frame but preserves us body and soul.  There is no limit to His goodness and everlasting love.  See what is written in Psalm 121:5-8:  "The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. 6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore."  God is near to those who love Him, and protects us day and night regardless of the season.  From this time forth He will guard and protect us forever.

Have you laid these promises close to your heart?  Though evil surrounds us on all sides and help seems far away, those who trust in the LORD share the reality of God's presence and protection.  God will preserve you, follower of Jesus Christ, and He will one day present us faultless before the presence of the Father with exceeding joy (Jude 1:24-25).  In the past God has been faithful, and from this day onward we need not fear evil or the schemes of Satan or deceitful men.  God told His people in Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me," says the LORD."  This is a promise we can hold to forever because God is eternal and faithful to perform all He has said without fail.  God has imputed the righteousness of Christ to all Christians through the Gospel, and He will save us forever.

God has saved us, is saving us, and will always save us according to His grace, mercy, and truth.  Salvation is not a moment in time but lasts forever.  Are you anxious and worried, dear Christian?  Believe God's Word over your own present cares and the uncertainties of this life.  The LORD will preserve you, and He is sufficient to handle all troubles.  The LORD - the all-knowing, all-powerful Creator and Master of All - will preserve you from this second moving forward and forever.  Praise the LORD for His power and faithfulness to accomplish His perfect will.
