SURROUNDED!

Look around at what surrounds you.
Concrete jungle, 
beautiful green grass with trees and flowers, 
kind faces, 
fierce faces, 
unfriendly faces
.......the possibilities are endless.

In Psalm 18 David wrote: 
'The pangs of death surrounded me,
And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid'

We can certainly identify with those feelings, especially when we watch or listen to news broadcasts and read newspapers. Floods of ungodliness abound in the crazy world we liv in.

But the Bible tells us that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses - that doesn't mean they are all sitting out somewhere on clouds watching our every move, but that scores of faithful Christians faced all kinds of dangers and overcame, finishing well, and are therefore an inspiration to us to do likewise.

We also read that 'God will give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Psalm 91:11-12).  

God's got His children surrounded.
May He open our spiritual eyes to see and comprehend.
