Topic: Divine Security
Text: Psalm 46:1-11

Individuals and nations all over the world spend a huge amount of money to protect lives and properties. The defense budgets of nations, developing and under-developed alike have continued to rise astronomically. If these enormous efforts are made in the physical realm we must realize that God has made provision for our protection and security. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble; therefore, will we not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;” Our text today assures us of divine protection. God is your shield. Therefore you must not fear. In Isaiah 43:2, the Almighty God says, “When thou passeth through the waters I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” In Isaiah 46:4, God said, “And even to your old age I am He; and even to your hair will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear: even I will carry and will deliver you.” This is the promise of God who can never lie. In Hebrew 13:5, He says, “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” If God says He will never leave you, it means it means He is by your side always. Even till old age, He will be by your side. David said his help comes from the Lord who made Heaven and earth. If you say your help comes from the Lord, we need to know which Lord you are talking about because there are various types of Lords. Anybody who calls himself God and does not know when the foundation of the earth was laid is not my God. Anyone who calls himself God and cannot say to the storm “Be still,” is not my God. David said the Lord he is talking about is the One who made Heaven and earth. There was nothing made that was not made by Him. Because He made all things that is why I know that my security is guaranteed. The Bible says, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servant of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, said the LORD.” He said no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper because He has already said that He is the One who made the waste to destroy.
