Topic: Complete Provision
Text: II Chronicles 16:1-9

God is able to give you an all-round protection as you journey through this world. As you go out on your daily business, and even as you return home each day, God’s protection over you is assured.

Yes, the Bible says: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (I Peter 5:8). Though lions walk about seeking preys, the eyes of the Lord run about to protect you. He will be there whenever you need Him.

In II Chronicles 16:9, the Bible says: “For the eyes of Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.” The lion is walking about but the eyes of the Lord are running to and fro. The One running is obviously faster than the walking. As long as the Lord is your help, before the lion can get to you, He is already by your side. When the lion looks at you, he will see the Lord. The eyes of the Lord constantly surveys the whole world to locate His own and see if there is any danger on their path.

If God has to wait all the time for us to pray before He acts, it may be too late. Long before we pray, the Almighty God has spotted the danger on our ways and has made provisions in any case. God is everywhere at all times’ according to Psalms 139:7-10: “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou are there. If I take the winds of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.” He is on the mountaintop. He is in the valley. He is in the air and also under the sea. God is everywhere. He will protect you everywhere you go. You are safe in His hands. Underneath you are the Everlasting arms.
