Sheltered by God

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)

Our heavenly Father offers us security and peace. We can trust in His divine care and protection, but we also need to give Him our cooperation. We do that by staying close to Him—by loving Him and doing our best to live by the principles He’s laid out in His Word—and by taking the necessary practical precautions.

When we put our faith in Jesus, we can count on Him to keep us or deliver us from harm.

Greater is He who is in us than anything this world can throw at us. His love and the Holy Spirit can fill us with power and a sound mind. We are surrounded and sheltered by God and His angelic forces.

We can trust God to fulfill His promises, and through faith in them we can have peace of mind, regardless of the circumstances around us.

We live in dangerous times, but as we do our part, we can count on His unfailing counsel, forewarning, protection, and care. We are blessed! —M. Fontaine [1]

Knowing God as our refuge enables us to trust Him more freely. We need not fear situations or people who threaten our well-being, whether in a physical or spiritual sense. There is no situation we will ever face that is out of God’s control, so the best place to be, always, is right with Him. —From gotquestions.org
