As a farmer was walking through his yard, he found a dead chicken. It was badly injured, obviously killed by a bird of prey. When he picked up the chicken, four chicks were still alive. The mother died saving her chicks.
He will cover you with his feathers; you will take refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield. Ps 91:4 CSB
When we look around, we see a world that has fallen apart. Who tore this world apart? God did not do it.
We can blame the devil, but that is only half the truth. We must all admit that we have gone wrong somehow. We need God's forgiveness so that we do not suffer eternal separation from God and His goodness after death.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jn 3:16 NIV
There are many Christians who believe this. They hope to be taken to heaven after they die, but their life on earth is only a shadow of the supernatural adventure with God that we see in the Bible.
God wants us to go deeper into his love.
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Rev 3:20 NLT
You can experience God's personal love in this way. But how?
“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Mt 7:7–8 NLT
When you learn to experience God's loving kindness, you must expect attacks from the enemy of your soul, but those who live in close friendship with Jesus can have his supernatural protection.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Ps 91:1–2 NKJV
I know a woman who is familiar with God’s tender love. One evening, as she was driving home, God saved her from certain death.
It was too late to brake. She couldn't avoid a collision. Then she felt a terrible heat. The vehicle drove through her car without making a sound or causing any damage. It was like something out of a science fiction movie.
