Hedged In

Apostle Grace Lubega

Job 1:7-10 (KJV); And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

The protection of God in our lives is not only for us as individuals but also extends to everything that belongs to us.

As seen from our theme scripture, God placed a hedge, not only around Job but his house and all his belongings. 

God has hedged you in: His protection is not only from the outside but He has also ensured that certain things do not get to you. 

He has hidden you in a place that the fowl doesn’t know and that which the vulture’s eye has not seen (Job 28:7).

The Bible says, “The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.”(Psalms 16:5).

When the scriptures speak of Him maintaining your lot, it means that He keeps constant watch over what belongs to you, inspecting it like a guard to ensure that no harm has befallen it.

You are kept by God; His hand is also upon all your property. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Ecclesiastes 10:8, James 1:13

GOLDEN NUGGET:  
The protection of God in our lives is not only for us as individuals but also extends to everything that belongs to us.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this word. I thank you because you have put a hedge of protection around me and everything that pertains to me. I thank you Lord because you maintain my lot. Nothing that is mine can be taken away; what belongs to me eventually makes its way to me. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
