God as Protector

“9 Do not rebel against the LORD, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the LORD is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!” Numbers 14

How often do you fail to see God as your protector?

I am not sure if I have ever seen God as my protector. I’ve seen Him as my judge. I’ve seen Him as my Redeemer. I’ve seen Him as my father, but never as my protector.

I wonder if that is why it is often hard for me to venture into the unknown. I wonder if that is why I am unable to take financial risk. I wonder if that is why I’ve never found a church to serve as their leader.

This pathway of excruciating vulnerability that Jesus calls us to follow does not go unprotected. That’s good news, isn’t it?
