Bible verses about divine protection
Those who are in Christ can rest assure that our God will guide us and protect us from evil. I don’t thank God enough for the things He does behind the scenes. God could have taken you out of a dangerous situation without you even knowing. It’s so awesome that God is watching us and He promises to never leave us. Have you ever watched a baby sleeping?
He/she looks so precious and you’re ready to protect that baby. That’s how God looks at His children. Even though we deserve the worst He loves us and cares for us. God doesn’t want anyone to perish, but commands everyone to repent and believe. God gave His perfect Son up for you. Jesus Christ took upon the wrath of God that you and I deserve.
He is God in the flesh and he is the only way into Heaven and the only way to have a relationship with God. Sometimes God protects Christians by allowing them to go through trials. He could be protecting them from an even worse situation or He could be using trials for his special purposes. Trust in the Lord and take refuge in him. The Lord is our secret hiding place. Continually pray in all situations.
Be confident and rejoice at the fact that Satan can’t harm us. Christians have victory in Christ Jesus. Always remember that the one who is in you is greater than the god of this corrupt world.
