“Thou has t enclosed me behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me.”
When the Lord encloses you He makes sure there are no gaps in the enclosure – He completely shuts you inside --He surrounds you – like a great and impregnable hedge. It is as if He is both inside you (with the Holy Spirit) and totally around you (as the Father) as He covers you with His love. And when you fall (because you do and will) He covers not just on one side but behind and before you (as Christ walks with you)- whichever way you might fall He is there for you. His hand is upon you, sometimes carrying you – to set you apart for His purposes, not to stop you, but to assure you that you are never alone!
“’Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you, He will not fail you or forsake you.’” Deuteronomy 31:5
“Then Satan answered the Lord, ‘Does Job fear God for nothing? Hast Thou not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.’” Job 1:9-10
Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
PS: Carla’s brother, Joe, is struggling with hospital care now – pray he will relax so he can be cared for properly. Pray for her Mom. Praise the Father for the doctors who are caring for those who are ill and in their care. Pray for the many who are looking for a job right now.
