He'll Cover You

I was talking to someone today; they were sharing with me a testimony of deliverance from a terrible personal  crisis. I was so in shock to hear the testimony, because I never even knew they were going through anything at all. One thing this person said that stuck with me is this: "I've learned how to talk to Jesus, because  He knows  how to keep my secrets. Not only that, only He knows how to work the situation out. He covered me through the whole thing!"

That's what I love about God. He's a confidant and a deliverer. He'll hide you in the time of trouble and then turn around and bring you out with a mighty hand.

Perhaps you're going through an intensely difficult trial; maybe it's a broken relationship, financial struggle, or even some kind of emotional distress. Only you and God know exactly what it is; but if you'll take your burdens to the Lord and leave them there, He'll cover you. He'll sustain you through your storm, just like He  did the children of Israel in the wilderness. He'll rain manna from heaven to feed you and give you water from a rock if has to!

He's an awesome provider, a fortress, and a true sustainer. He's a safe place, a refuge, and a shield. You don't ever have to worry about Him abandoning you and "leaving you hanging". Oh no. He'll never  do that. He'll take you under His wing and nurture you. He'll care for you. He'll provide for you. This afternoon, my Pastor talked about Jesus, the Good Shepherd and how we, the sheep, can be confident in His protection, provision, and providence. He's always looking after us and caring for us, to the point of laying down His own life so that you and I might live. "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep" (John 10:11 KJV).

Oh how I love Him! No matter how  rough the  road, or how  dark the day, God is there to comfort and  sustain you. He'll take you under His wing and cover you.

Just run to Him.

Over the years I've found out that it's better and wiser to confide in God than in any other source. After all, He's the only one I know who has the power to turn everything around. "The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe" (Proverbs 18:10 KJV).

As always, thanks for reading, and until next time... may you be empowered to prosper!

I have found this to be very true - God will cover you. He is the greatest confidante we could ever have. In the midst of the storms in our life, God hides us in the shadow of his wings. He is awesome. My eyes are filled with tears, but I'm tryin to hold it together because I'm at work!! But when I think of the goodness of Jesus, I can't help myself. I was just saying to myself, on my way to work this morning, that I just needed to talk to God - tell him all about my troubles. Because one thing, well two things, I've found to be true is that people change on you, but God changes not. He is always there...always right there, listening, caring, delivering.
