God Will Protect You – Stella Ramola
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” John 10:11
My dear friend, today we are meditating on the promise verse taken from John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” Yes, my friend, God is your good shepherd. You have nothing to fear.
A shepherd taking care of his flock is a beautiful sight to behold. During the day, the shepherd takes his sheep for a walk to different places. He stays with them always to ensure their safety and also makes sure that they are fed well. At night the shepherd takes his flock to the sheepfold. A sheepfold is a circular fence-type strong enclosure that is made up of rocks. At the top of the fence, there are sharp objects to prevent thieves from stealing the sheep and also to stop the sheep from jumping out of the fence. But there is a small space
at the entrance of the sheepfold. Why do you think is that space for? That space is for the shepherd to lay down in the entrance. He lays there all night watching over his sheep so that no one can touch his flock. Even though it is risky for him as harm may come or people may come to steal the sheep, he stays there to protect them all night. He is willing to lay down his life for his sheep.
Yes, my friend, our loving God also does the same for us. He says to the enemy,“ you cannot touch My children.” Such is the love of our Lord for us and this is the confidence we have today. Take heart, my friend! The Lord will protect you and be your good shepherd.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, today I pray for Your divine protection upon my life. I thank You for Your wonderful promise. I thank You for You are my good shepherd. Thank You for laying down Your life for me, Lord. Let no sickness touch my body. Let no harm come against me. Let no evil that is planned against me touch my life. Let me face no more failures, Lord. Keep me safe and watch over me for You are my good shepherd. I receive this blessing today.In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
