UNDER GOD’S GLORY (PART 2)

MAR. 22ND

TEXT: Psalm 121Amplified Bible (AMP)
The Lord the Keeper of Israel.
A Song of [a]Ascents.
1.   I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]—
From where shall my help come?
2.     My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
3.    He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4.    Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber [briefly] nor sleep [soundly].
5.     The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6.     The sun will not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7.     The Lord will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your life.
8.     The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do]
From this time forth and forever.

There is nothing like living life under  glory. So many people depend on their strength, wisdom, connections and different achievements in life, only to end up disappointed and miserable.
Take your eyes away from any human ability and fix them on Jesus. Look up to God as your source and help, and you will be amazed what He will do with your life. 
A careful study of the Bible will reveal to you that each time the children of Israel showed their dependence on God, their enemies were kept at bay, but when they departed from the way of the Lord, they began to live at the mercy of their enemies.
When Israel went to Egypt, they went as a people dependent on God and became highly favoured. But somewhere along the line they missed it. It is possible they missed it because they became too comfortable in Egypt. Sometimes, when people travel from places like Africa and Asia to the western world, they do so by prayer and a lot of faith in God, but after a while, when many have become comfortable, they forget about the God who brought them through tough times. This has been the undoing of many.
If you once had a faith and a strong relationship with God that has become cold due to some comforts of life, it is time to return before it is too late.
The children of Israel thought they had everything under control until they became slaves in the place where they once had favour. If you are enjoying the favour of God through somebody or an organization, be careful. Many have missed the purpose of God for their lives by allowing the comforts of life to hold them captive.
When things are working in your favour, don’t forget, it is the Lord your God that gives you the power to get wealth. Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Shalom!
