The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken.
-Psalm 34:19-20(NLT)
LORD PROTECTS THE RIGHTEOUS
A poem and essay by ILMA
If you have dedicated your life to Christ
You will be blessed and loved in this life
Not one of your bones will be broken
He guards and rescue all of his children.
The righteous person faces many difficulties
But God helps them in their challenges and frailties
Be joyful because he will never allow the godly to fail
He will always be beside them each and every day.

Some unbelievers think that when you become a Christian, you are saved from troubles. On the contrary, it is the opposite. The closer you are to Christ, the more the enemy entices you to his camp. It is such a big deal for him to reap your close relationship with God. He is the father of all lies and his purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. He need not do that to those who are wicked already. They are no longer a challenge to him. Those who are building and maintaining a relationship with Jesus on the other hand, is a big trophy for him if he gets them down. The bible promises that God will never allow a bone in believers’ bodies to be broken.
PRAYER
Thank you for your protection Lord.
