ABUNDANT LOVE: A YEAR OF LIVING WITH OPEN HANDS

WEEK 5: God is Protector.


REFLECTION

God is our protector. There are many instances in the Bible about God as our Hiding Place, our Shelter, our Fortress—one under whose wings we can take refuge. Taking refuge in God is not an act of weakness, but a countercultural act of courage and faith in the Almighty strength of God. As you read through this week’s readings, identify the ways God describes his protection of His children.


READINGS

Day 1. Psalm 91:1-2

Day 2. Psalm 91:3-4

Day 3. Psalm 91:5-8

Day 4. Psalm 91:9-10

Day 5. Psalm 91:13-16


MEDITATION

Do I trust God as my protector? Am I quick to run to Him? Or quick to hide?


PRAYER

Heavenly Father, thank you for your promise of protection to those who love and keep your commandments. Help me to find my rest under your wings this week.
