Our scripture for the Daily Devotional today is taken from Isaiah 54:13-17. We are made strong through the love and power of the Lord Almighty. It is not our strength and human intuition that protect us. It is the Spirit of the only true God!
“All your children will be taught by the Lord,
and great will be their peace.
14 In righteousness you will be established:
Tyranny will be far from you;
you will have nothing to fear.
Terror will be far removed;
it will not come near you.
15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
whoever attacks you will surrender to you.
16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith
who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc;
17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,”
declares the Lord.”
Christ alone is our victory and protection.
The scriptures are filled with promises from God. He has promised us over and over again to draw near to the weak and needy. As our great high priest Jesus has set out the expectation, He went where we could not.
Jesus faced death and overcame it so that you and I did not need to fight the losing battle. Our efforts and human abilities will never be sufficient to overcome the curse of sin.
It is for this reason that we glorify and focus all of our attention on Jesus Christ. As our ultimate protector and deliverer, Jesus and His blood fend off any and all weapons that our enemy can throw our way. Let us draw closer to Jesus, our savior, and protector. Rest in His protection for He loves us!
Let’s Pray
Dear Jesus,
In Jesus Name,
Amen
