Daily Devotional-God’s Protection Is Real
Let’s begin this devotional with the promises of God’s protection as you walk in all the light you can see. What exactly does that mean to you? It should mean that you are seeking to do His commandments over the ways of the world around you. Regardless of where you are, what is in front of you, or the circumstances, you want to walk in all of His ways and live a life of peace and contentment.
There are times when things within our lives come back to haunt us. Even when we have confessed, asked God’s forgiveness, and are trying our best to live for Him. It is not pleasant, it hurts, and it reminds us of our prior weaknesses.
Even when these things are brought up within your life, you are under His protection if you are living by the Bible doctrine.
