Opening
Recall the love that was shown and given to us at a young age.
When we were very young in age, how many of us can recall the love our fathers and mothers, our grandfathers and grandmothers?
I many of us can recall the love our uncles and aunties, our guardians and providers?
Now we may not have heard the actual words “I love you” from their mouth, but their actions spoke volumes whether we know it or not.
When we hurt ourselves, they cared for our wounds.
When did wrong, they chastised us for it.
When we did good, they rewarded us for it.
When we felt threaten, they shielded us from it.
When harm was present and we didn’t see, they kept watch over us.
In a sense, they were our modern day protectors of a very true spiritual promise.
God is our keeper, even more so than our earthly love ones.
What I have found over the years is that God is the foundation, the root, the stability of my protection.
Divine Protection
The story has been told of a believer, Frederick Nolan, who was fleeing from his enemies during a time of persecution in North Africa.
Pursued by them over hill and valley with no place to hide, he fell exhausted into a wayside cave, expecting his enemies to find him soon.
Awaiting his death, he saw a spider weaving a web.
Within minutes, the little bug had woven a beautiful web across the mouth of the cave.
The pursuers arrived and wondered if Nolan was hiding there, but on seeing the unbroken and unmangled piece of art, thought it impossible for him to have entered the cave without dismantling the web.
And so they went on.
Having escaped, Nolan burst out and exclaimed:
“Where God is, a spider’s web is like a wall,
Where God is not, a wall is like a spider’s web.”

God Will Be Your Hope & Confidence
God Is Your Hope
What is hope?
Hope.
An expectation or belief in the fulfillment of something desired.
Living in this world, hope is needed
Worldwide poverty, hunger, disease, and human potential to generate terror and destruction create a longing for something better.
Historically people have looked to the future with a mixture of longing and fear.
Many have concluded that there is no reasonable basis for hope and therefore to hope is to live with an illusion.
Scripture relates being without hope to being in the world without God:
A hopeless heart is sick
If we don’t have hope, our heart becomes sick.
Imagine praying and hearing scriptures that should encourage the heart.
Then you hear of peoples testimonies and how they were blessed and delivered from their agony.
When you hear of their testimonies, you get encouraged because their situation sounds a lot like yours.
However, there is one significant difference between your situation and theirs.
They have a testimony from their test, while you’re still in agony.
Then we begin to get discouraged and hopeless.
Listen, God is not ignoring you, but rather we have to have hope in His promises because He is faithful that promised.
In order for hope to abide, we need to abide in Him.
Remind God about His word.
Put Him in remembrance of His promises.
Then as you pray the word of God in your prayers, you will begin to see your hopelessness turn to hopefulness.
That is when you will see God become your hope.
He has always been, but we were out of place.
We were abiding in the wrong house, which is our state of mind.
A hopeless heart is sick, but when God is there, hope abides -
The blood of Christ brings newness
Now because of Christ, we have a new future and a better tomorrow.
We have hope!
We are no longer uncovered and sin-guilty stained; but we are not washed clean and continually kept in the mercies and gracious love and compassion of the Father.
