One of the great blessings and confidences we have in Jesus is that we do not live out our lives on our own, alone, unnoticed, and forgotten. The Lord of the universe is with us personally (Psalm 139:1-18). He holds our future and our safety in his hands. Our deliverance is assured, either deliverance from death – which means service to him and to others – or deliverance to him through death – which means freedom from the constraints of mortality and the battle with sin (Philippians 1:18-24). The Lord will never leave us, forsake us, or abandon us – we are more than conquerors in this life and into the next life because of Jesus (Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 8:35-38).Mighty Protector, Rock of my salvation, thank you that I cannot go where you are not. Thank you for ensuring my life is hidden with Christ in you (Colossians 3:1-4). Make this assurance the motivating power in my life as I turn my future over to you and live obediently, today, to honor you. By the power of Jesus, I believe this, and I ask this in his name. Amen.
