The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalms 18:2
Travel agencies offer package prices to many vacation destinations. If you purchase the airline tickets, the hotel and the rental car at the same time they offer a price that is less than if purchased separately. Additionally, you have the convenience of taking care of it all with one transaction and many times extras will be thrown in such as discount coupons to local attractions. For the Christian, salvation is a package deal. By making just one decision and commitment we gain many benefits.
Psalm 18 describes God’s protection package. The Lord will be a firm foundation; a solid place that can be relied upon with everything around you might be shifting. The Lord will also be your fortress –actual protection against those who come against you when you are standing for righteousness. The Lord will be your deliverer thereby ensuring you will make it through your difficult situation. The psalmist paints a picture of every manner of protection round about you along with the strength and power to defeat the enemy. God’s protection package is the best there is.
When in the midst of a difficult trial remember to activate God’s protection package through prayer.
Deacon Larry Woodard
