Message

The LORD is thy keeper:the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.  


Shade, in the Scripture above, is referring to a cover over you. The Lord being a shade on your right hand means that His shadow will always be over you, hence, you can never be alone. There is no way you can separate a man from his shadow. It doesn't matter where you go, your shadow will always be by your side. Therefore, whenever you feel alone, remember that God is right there by your side; one of His titles is 'The Lord Who Covers You' (). I pray that the covering of the Lord will remain over you and all that concerns you at all times, in Jesus' name. 


You may sometimes get into situations where you will look around you, and there seems to be no one to help you out. At such times, remember that God is by your side, and He is as close to you as your shadow. The Bible says in :“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have:for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Our God is not a man that He should lie (). If He said that He will never leave you nor forsake you, it means that He is always by your side. He is there to protect you whenever you need protection. This is why the Bible says in :


No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD


The Shadow is there to advise you when you are confused about which decisions to make. This is why He said that you will always hear a voice behind you, telling you which way to go (). He is there to encourage you when you feel overwhelmed by the challenges of life. That is why He said in


Fear thou not; for I am with thee:be not dismayed; for I am thy God:I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 


Beloved, do not be afraid; the Lord of all lords is with you at all times. He is as close to you as your shadow. Trust Him with your life completely.

Have you made the Lord your cover?

Hymn

Title: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.

2. Not the labours of my hands
can fulfil thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.

3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, saviour, or I die.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
