COMPLETE SAFETY IN CHRIST

And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. (Deuteronomy 33:12)

Yes, there is no safety like that which comes of dwelling near to God. For His best beloved the Lord can find no surer or safer place. O Lord, let me always abide under Thy shadow, close to Thy wounded side. Nearer and nearer would I come to Thee, my Lord; and when once specially near Thee, I would abide there forever.


27 The eternal God [is your] refuge, and underneath [are] the everlasting arms. And He shall throw the enemy out from before you, and shall say, Destroy!
28 And Israel shall dwell in safety alone; the fountain of Jacob in a land of grain and wine; and his heavens shall drop down dew.
29 Blessed [are] you, O Israel! Who [is] like you, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, and who [is] the sword of your excellency! And your enemies shall be found liars to you, and you shall tread on their high places. - Deut 33:27-29

What a covering is that which the Lord gives to His chosen! Not a fair roof shall cover him, nor a bomb-proof casement, nor even an angel’s wing, but Jehovah Himself. Nothing can come at us when we are thus covered. This covering the Lord will grant us all the day long, however long the day. Lord, let me abide this day consciously beneath this canopy of love, this pavilion of sovereign power.

Does the third clause mean that the Lord in His temple would dwell among the mountains of Benjamin or that the Lord would be where Benjamin’s burden should be placed, or does it mean that we are borne upon the shoulders of the Eternal? In any case, the Lord is the support and strength of His saints. Lord, let me ever enjoy Thy help, and then my arms will be sufficient for me.

"For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for My servant David's sake." (MKJV Isa 37:35)

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall rest [under] the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him I will trust." (MKJV Ps 91:1-2)

"And you are complete in Him, who is the Head of all principality and power," (MKJV Col 2:10)

PRAYERS:
May the Lord Almighty be your protector. May you and your entire household be under the canopy of His divine refuge and fortress. May the Lord be your defence and safety. May He be your guide and may you be hidden in his Holy Secret Pavilion in Jesus name! May you be graced to put your total trust in Him, who is the head of all principality and power both in heavenlies, on earth and underneath the earth, through His previous Blood, in Jesus mighty name!

God bless you, in Jesus name!
