Protection From Evil

December 11-December 17

Father God,
Thank you for loving me and taking care of me. Bless my church, Pastor Ron and
his family. Bless my teachers for teaching me Your Word. I believe your love is
flowing through me to other people. Help me to obey my parents so things will go
well with me and I will live a long life on the earth. I will tell how great You are and
how much I love You. I thank You that by Jesus stripes I am healed in my body and
my soul.
In Jesus name, Amen

God commands His angels to guard and protect me.

Psalms 91:11
I will tell others the good news.
Luke 2:10
Jesus is great and is called the Son of the Most High and the Lord
God has given to Him the throne of His father David.
Luke 1:32

God will protect you and help you through whatever problems come
your way.

Psalms 91:11, He gives His angels charge over you to keep you in all
your ways.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem just like the prophets had said it would
happen. The good news was told from village to village about the baby
and the angels who had spoken to the shepherds on the night of Jesus
birth. Wisemen had traveled a long way to find baby Jesus, the One God
had promised who would deliver His people. The wisemen had followed
the star that led them to Jerusalem, but no one in Jerusalem knew where
the child was.
All this was part of Gods plan to protect Jesus from King Herod, the
jealous and fearful king who ruled in Jerusalem. When he heard that there
were wealthy travelers looking for a baby king, he invited them to his
castle to question them and find out for himself where the baby was. He
pretended that he wanted to find the baby king to worship him, but he
wanted to kill baby Jesus. God knew all this would happen so He already
had a plan to protect His Son and keep Him safe.
The wisemen left Jerusalem and continued following the star that led
them to a small village outside of Jerusalem called Bethlehem. There they
found the Baby with Mary and Joseph. They knelt before Him and
worshipped Him and gave Him gifts. They had been told by Herod to
come back and tell him when they found the baby, but the angel of the
Lord warned them in a dream not to tell Herod where the Baby was.
Later, Joseph was also warned by the angel of the Lord to get Mary and
the baby and escape from Bethlehem into Egypt.
Herod waited and waited for the wisemen to return, but they never
showed. This made Herod angry and he ordered that every baby boy
born in Bethlehem two years or younger was to be killed. God was not
surprised by Herods plans. He knew exactly what Herod wanted to do
to Baby Jesus. Jesus was safe because God had commanded His angels to
guard and protect His Child. As a child of God you have the same
protection and angelic guards that Jesus had. God will take care of you.
