Do You Protect God?
Do You Protect God?
My husband and I have three absolutely wonderful children. I do everything I can for them and there’s nothing that I wouldn’t give them or do for them. I stay active in their school, take them to their extra-curricular activities and celebrate even the smallest challenges in their little lives. As a parent, I am a fierce protector of them, always on guard for any sign of danger or improprieties. If anyone or anything endangers them, I immediately come to their rescue to protect them and cover them, even without prompting. They’re my kids.
If anyone or anything threatens to hurt God, do you protect Him? You probably wonder, what in the world could hurt God? He doesn’t need protection because He’s God, right? I suspect God is hurt by a lot of things that perhaps we take for granted. Like for instance, when His name is taken in vein, do we immediately rise up and protect His Name? Or, do we sit idly by and allow harm and injustice to pierce His heart? What about when the all-wise scientists declare that there is indisputable evidence that there is no God. They announce through their research that the universe was just “formedâ€?. Do you stand up and declare that according to scripture, that God existed before the universe was even formed?
Although God IS all-knowing, all-wise and all-encompassing, we must do our part to protect His holiness, to protect His righteous name. We cannot sit idly by and allow the forces of hell to reign attack on Him at every whim and every chance they’re given.
To protect God, we must simply just speak up. Whenever we see injustices, speak up. Whenever we witness something that is amiss, talk up. Don’t allow any and everything to happen to our God. Let’s protect Him just as much as He protects us. He takes the very best care of us whenever we’re in trouble or whenever there are wrongs made against us.
Let’s do the same for Him.
Let’s protect God.

Or perhaps, by protecting your own idea of God, you are closing yourself off to His revelations of Himself to you.

That’s interesting…do you mean that if we have just a one-track idea of God, we’re not allowing ourselves to REALLY know who He is?
