Proverbs 18:11
The rich
man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
When
someone is used to having the resources to solve life’s problems, they could
accidentally begin to trust in those resources rather than the One who gave
them to him. When someone has a security
system in their home they might begin to rest peacefully trusting in the
technology that keeps unwanted guests out rather than the One who allowed them
the privilege of having such protection.
We see in Job’s life, that in a moment, that which we enjoy can be taken
away. The Lord gives, the Lord takes
away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
If you or I find ourselves being provided for or protected today we must
lift up our eyes and worship the One who is behind it all. He is our strong city, He is our shield. Throughout the day today, it would be healthy
for us to thank and praise Him for all that we consider protection or
provision. When we take that sip of
coffee, when we put on our seat belt, when we lock the front door, let us thank
the Lord for His presence, provision and protection.
