God Is With Us.

Today I was watching the news. The stories were full of violence and death, killing, assaults, and explosions. It got me wondering what can I do to protect my family from the dangers of the world today. The truth is I can't completely protect them. I can do stuff to lessen the chance of something bad happening to them. Make sure all the doors and windows are locked when we sleep. Stay alert for danger when we are out of the house, but there is a limit to what I can do.So what do I do? I have to acknowledge that completely protect them and rely on God to protect them. in Genesis 28:15 God says;  "I am with you, and I will protect you everywhere you go. I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised." and again in Jeremiah 1:7-8 it says;  But the LORD said to me, "Don't say, 'I am only a boy.' You must go everywhere I send you and say everything I tell you to say.  (8)  Don't be afraid of anyone. I am with you, and I will protect you." This message is from the LORD.

Romans 8:31-34  So what should we say about this? If God is for us, no one can stand against us. And God is with us.  (32)  He even let his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for all of us. So now with Jesus, God will surely give us all things.  (33)  Who can accuse the people God has chosen? No one! God is the one who makes them right.  (34)  Who can say that God's people are guilty? No one! Christ Jesus died for us, but that is not all. He was also raised from death. And now he is at God's right side, speaking to him for us.
