He ransoms me and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me, though many still oppose me.
Dear Ones: Keeps Me Safe! Some days it seems that we have to battle through one obstacle after another. Even driving home or going to the store can be quite challenging. But this verse gives us a different perspective. When we lean on His everlasting arms, He keeps us safe from what is harassing or confronting us.
Medical findings can be like the constant harassing of an enemy. You feel that your own body has been turned against you. The tormentor takes advantage of every negative thing to speak defeat and depression into your soul. But the weapons of our warfare against the darkness are not natural weapons. The Word of God is our Sword of Light that we use to drive out the tormenting thoughts and depression. As you battle, He becomes your shield as your faith rises up in Him.
It’s a good day to say out loud, “He Keeps Me Safe from (fill in whatever you are dealing with). I am an overcomer; I am winning this battle because He is with me.” As you speak His words of life, your body will respond because of the truth in 1 John 4:4. “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” Have an overcoming day. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
