The Lord is your strength and shield (July 7)

The Lord is your Strength and Shield July 

"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14.   This blessing and benediction on your life today grants you three things: 1)  The love of God.  His love is unfailing and is based on His relationship with you as His child as you relate to Him as your Heavenly Father.  Paul wrote, "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name." Ephesians 3:14-15.    2)  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  His grace covers your weaknesses and your failures, and presents you before your Heavenly Father as righteous (in right standing for a miracle).  His grace forgives your past mistakes.  His grace strengthens you in the present circumstances and secures you for the future forever.    3)  The fellowship of the Holy Spirit. God is in you by the presence of His Holy Spirit.  He is always with you.  This is your confidence, knowing that you are never alone and at the mercy of luck or chance.  Your Heavenly Father secures you; Jesus saves you and the Holy Spiritstabilizes you.  This is a blessing from the Lord Jesus Christ who lives in you today.    Kingdom Declaration: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am secure. @Dr.Pat Francis @chayil$
