Day 39
"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear." Isaiah 59:1 (NIV)
"Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave"
- from Mighty to Save,
by Reuben Morgan and Ben Fielding
That God is mighty to save is a theme we find in the scripture. There is no length to which God will not go to save us. King David said that he could go to the depths of hell and God would still be able to find him. Why? Because of God's love for his people, he is not willing to throw us away, when we fail and struggle with our faith, but rather he is actively working in our lives through prevenient grace, circumstances, divine appointments, and any host of avenues to help and protect us.
We can trust that God is just as determined to protect our mind as he is to save our souls from hell. This helmet of salvation that surrounds our minds is just another example of God's care and love for us. He wants us to be free in our minds to believe and trust.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
Jesus is inviting us to cast all of our cares upon him. Here he is telling us that when we displace worry and fear in our lives and replace with faith in him, he will cover us, meet our needs and fulfill our hearts and minds. Let us allow the salvation, God's saving, keeping, protecting power, cover our minds.
Prayer: "Jesus, thank you that you are mighty to save. I believe that you are more than enough for me. I believe you are covering me and strengthening me by your salvation. Thank you. In your name, Amen."
