As a shield from every snare. We have living hope as it says in verse 3, and through faith are shielded by God’s power.
Enduringword.com: “God’s power is the garrison in which we find our security.” (Hiebert) We are kept by the power of God, but it is through faith, meaning our faith. The person who is kept is a person abiding in a continuing relationship of faith with God.
“Breathe that holy name in prayer.” Truth. Real truth. Everything changes when you say the name of Jesus. Everything.
I find it amazing how real it is. If Jesus is your Lord and
Savior, and you live for Him, I know you have experienced it too. At just the
time you say His name, a miracle happens. You change.
You change because you know it’s real. Whatever causes you
to say His name, something happens inside you that changes everything.
You may still be crying. You may still be hurting. You may
still not know what way to go. But a miraculous calm builds inside you and
settles your mind and heart. You know implicitly that Jesus is working on your
behalf.
Okay, Carol, does this really happen? You may ask. Yes! Yes!
Yes! It really happens. If you are a sincere believer who lives his/her faith
every day, trusting everything to Jesus’ care, everything changes when you say
His name.
1 Peter 1:3-6
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living
hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and
into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This
inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded
by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to
be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly
rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer
grief in all kinds of trials.”
Godsbless.ing: I find assurance in knowing that despite the trials and challenges of this world, my hope in Christ is secure and unwavering. I find comfort in knowing that my hope is anchored in the unchanging character and promises of God in a world filled with uncertainty and shifting circumstances. This hope gives me strength to persevere and endure, knowing that my ultimate reward is waiting for me in heaven.
“Breathe that holy name in prayer,” and watch
how "He shields you from area snare" and protects you in all circumstances. It is real.
Hallelujah!
By His Grace . . .
