You Are Under God's Protection
Written by Bob & Debby Gass
Thursday, 27 February 2014
'He...shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.' Psalm 91:1
NKJV
What is 'the shadow of the Almighty'? In the wilderness where
Israel wandered for forty years, temperatures could get up to 50
or 55 degrees Celsius. There was no shade except what was
provided by the tents in which the people lived. So they
understood this powerful metaphor, 'under the shadow of the
Almighty'. If you were lost in the desert the children of Israel
would have been required by the law of hospitality to satisfy
your need for food, water, protection from an enemy, and shade
from the blistering sun. It worked like this: first you had to
find out the chief shepherd's name. Then you would take hold of
the cord on his tent and cry out for help. When you did that,
the law of hospitality required him to take you into the safety
of his tent. Indeed, that same law said he had to protect you
with his very life.
Are you getting the idea? God's name, El Shaddai, describes two
wonderful aspects of His character. 'El' speaks of His power and
strength. 'Shaddai' literally means 'strong-breasted-one', which
refers to the gentleness of a nursing mother. Some days you have
to go to God for the strength needed to withstand the enemy's
attack; other days you just need to go to Him and let Him hold
you in His arms and comfort you.
John Shairp wrote, 'Let me no more my comfort draw, from my
frail grasp on Thee; in this alone rejoice with awe - Thy mighty
grasp of me.' When things get too 'hot' for you, run to 'the
shadow of the Almighty'.

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is
like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind (James 1:6)
Why is it so wrong to doubt? God has assured victory to his
people. When we doubt his power to save and preserve his people
and our Christian faith we are telling God we don’t trust him.
We are telling God we don’t really believe in his word and his
power.
For many the world seems to be completely lost – all hope gone.
What a depressing life these people must have. However for all
of us who have faith in our ultimate victory at God’s hand, the
struggle can, for our people, be an exhilarating experience.
The holy Bible says God’s word will not be returned void. It
feels good to know that when we work to spread the message of
white Christian revival we will be successful. It may not be
evident immediately, but don’t doubt the positive results your
efforts will have. God is with us and our cause. There is no
doubt about that.
