In the Bible we can find a variety of verses about the God's protection. But, do you really know how you can obtain it? He enters here and knows with us what the Lord says to reach his protection.
How to reach the protection of God?
In the Bible, in the book of Proverbs, a text endowed with wisdom from above, we find a word that expresses:
Proverbs 14:12 (NBV): There are paths that the man They look straight, but at the end end in death.
And it is that, since the fall of man occurred because of the entrance of sin into the world and with it the curse. From then on, the earth ceased to be a safe place without God's direction and protection.
For centuries on earth and even more so in recent times, natural phenomena occur that bring with them disasters that affect man. Likewise, wickedness, immoral hearts, and the sinful nature pose a danger to mankind.
However, God's perfect plan for his creation contemplates blessing promises for all who seek him from the heart. We find these promises in the Bible and many of the verses talk about a particular blessing, which is God's protection.
An example is Psalm 121, where the psalmist tells us that the Lord is our keeper. Our protection comes from God creator of heaven and earth:
Psalms 121:3-7 (NIV):
3 God will never allow you to suffer any harm. God takes care of you and never sleeps.
4 God watches over Israel, and never sleeps!
5 God watches over you and protects you; God is always by your side.
6 During the day, the sun will not burn you; during the night, you will not be harmed by the moon.
7 God will protect you and make you safe from all dangers.
Other words that speak to us of God's care can be found in: protection verses in difficult times. Which remind us where our help comes from.
God promised us his protection
Circumstances, problems or dangers in life can discourage us, make us feel fear, etc. But the good news is that God promises us protection from him when we turn to him in repentance and obey his precepts to become part of his people.
God proclaimed to the Hebrew people the promise of his protection since he took them out of slavery in Egypt to the promised land. At that moment the Lord told his people not to fear, I will never abandon them:
Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV): -Be strong and courageous. Don't be scared or afraid before those nations, the Lord your God will always be with you; he will never leave or forsake you-.
This promise is still valid and is fulfilled in us too, when God with our repentance, takes us out of the slavery of sin through Jesus Christ our redeemer. So that God has fulfilled, fulfills and will continue to fulfill his protection, his promises are Yes and they are Amen because He is not a man to lie.
But if it is the case that a child of God falls, stumbles, feels a disease, crosses a desert, etc. The Lord will strengthen him and raise him up again, not the person with evil in his heart.
Proverbs 24:16 (NBV): Because they may fall seven times, but every time they fall they will get up; but a single fall will suffice for the wicked to plunge into disgrace.
In the covenant of Moses
As mentioned above, God in the old covenant of Moses made a promise to his people to protect them. At this time the Hebrew people had to be obedient to the covenant and its commandments.
Because obedience or disobedience would have its consequences in blessings (Deuteronomy 28) or curses (Deuteronomy 27). In the Old Testament we therefore see many occasions in which God's protection is manifested, in the fulfillment of his promise, for example:
2 Kings 20:5-6 (PDT): 5 Return and tell Hezekiah, leader of my people, Thus says the LORD, the God of your ancestor David: -I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears and I am going to heal you. On the third day you yourself shall go up to the temple of the LORD. 6 I will add 15 years to your life and save this city from the power of the king of Assyria. I will protect the city and i'll do it by myself and for the promise I made to my servant David-.
God's Protection Under Grace
In the new covenant of grace through Jesus Christ, God renews his promise of protection to all those who decide in their hearts to obey him and believe in his son for salvation. By believing in the message of Salvation of our Lord Jesus, God pours protection on us beyond the physical, the spiritual through his Holy Spirit.
Romans 6:22 (NIV): However, you are no longer slaves of sin. Now they are servants of God. And this is good, well living only for God assures them that they will have eternal life.
This is God's greatest protection, read about it in the eternal life verses and salvation in Christ Jesus. Then you can continue reading about the blessings for the children of protection and construction.
