God is protecting you

“And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.” (1 Peter 1:5 NLT)

God’s garrison for you

The word “protect” in the above passage, means garrison, which is a military term which refers to sending soldiers into a town to protect it. They remain there to guard it. God protects you in a similar manner, against the attacks of the enemy, as you trust in Him through faith. It’s like having a Devine security system in place.

God guards the steps of His faithful ones

“He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail.” (1 Sam. 2:9)

“I will raise up shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or dismayed, nor will any go missing, declares the LORD.” (Jer. 23:4)

“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10:28)

Therefore… 

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7)

“When you find yourself in a situation where you feel hopeless, helpless, or powerless — that’s all a lie. You’re not hopeless, helpless, or powerless when you have God in your life.” – Rick Warren
