In what ways can we seek God's help and protection in daily life? Psalm 60 : 5 Our Daily Cry “Save us with Your right hand; answer us, that those You love may be delivered.” Drawing Near to the Banner of His Love • A banner marked a safe rally-point in battle; God Himself is that banner (Exodus 17 : 15). • Coming under it means trusting His authority and His unfailing affection for us. Practical Ways to Seek His Help and Protection Each Day • Call on Him first – Psalm 50 : 15 “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you …” – Begin every morning with a simple plea: “Lord, save and help me today with Your right hand.” • Stand on His Word – Psalm 119 : 114 “You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in Your word.” – Keep a promise close (e.g., Psalm 91 : 1-2) and recite it whenever fear surfaces. • Put on His Armor – Ephesians 6 : 10-18 lists truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the word of God. – Consciously “dress” in these virtues before stepping into the day. • Walk in Obedience – Proverbs 3 : 5-6 links trusting Him with straight paths. – Choose honesty, purity, forgiveness; obedience keeps you beneath His covering. • Stay in Fellowship – Ecclesiastes 4 : 12 “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” – Share needs and pray for one another (James 5 : 16); God often protects through His people. • Rest in His Sovereignty – Psalm 121 : 7-8 “The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in …” – Hand over worries (1 Peter 5 : 7) and trust His watch even while you sleep. • Cultivate Thankfulness – 1 Thessalonians 5 : 18 “Give thanks in all circumstances …” – Gratitude reminds the heart of His past deliverances and fuels faith for today. What His Right Hand Provides • Strength Isaiah 41 : 10 • Security John 10 : 28 • Certain Victory Romans 8 : 32 Living Psalm 60 : 5 Throughout the Day Ask … believe He hears … step forward expecting deliverance. Then watch for His hand in travel mercies, timely wisdom, or unexpected peace—and give Him the credit every time help arrives. A Daily Declaration to Carry Forward “Lord, because You love me, I rally under Your banner. With Your right hand lift me, guide me, and keep me, so that my life today displays Your deliverance.” |
