God Is Watching Over You


Let me first start by giving a GREAT BIG shoot-out to Greater Bethel Church for a awesome Pastor’s Support Annual Day. Your love and support was uplifting as well as encouraging to Janice & I. Many times people who sit in the pew Sunday after Sunday being encourage never think that the person who stand in the pulpit Sunday after Sunday need encouragement too. Special thanks to the PAC lead by the very vocal & outspoken Ms. Jerrion Cooper “Love you with all my heart.” Finally, to my little/big brother Rev. Ray E. Owens, Pastor of the Macedonia Church of South Bend, Indiana (you can follow him on twitter, blog or church website http://macedoniapastor.blogspot.com/ http://www.macedoniahelps.org/ ) I’m always amazed to watch the growth of a preacher/pastor enormous leap, he was already a passionate & powerful preacher but God took him to another level “proud of you”. Macedonia you have a special gift cherish it, protect it, love it & surround it with prayer.

This has been a very hectic few weeks with final papers due and studying for final grades. Sometime life hits so hard that it causes you to feel down and sometimes even depressed. There are times when life simply doesn’t make sense. During the holiday season with Christmas music, shopping, gifts, & trees, many people aren’t happy. So no matter what you are facing be sure to remember that God’s Got You! God is the Master over winds & waves, sickness & suffering, fear & frustration, pain & problem, troubles & tragedies, disappointments, difficulties, depression, debt, disease, demons & even death.

I want to share one of my favorite passages, Psalm 91:10–11 says "No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways."

Don’t you just sense your Father’s love in these words? Like a mother hen that spreads her wings over her chicks to protect them, God will “cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge”. (Psalm 91:4) So don’t be fearful of accidents, attacks, pains, predicaments, failures, falls, hell-raisers or haters because your heavenly Father loves you and watches over you.

One of the ways He does this is with His angels. God has declared that no evil, plague or accident will befall you or even come near your dwelling “for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways”. When He says “no”, He means “no-thing”! And if He tells His angels to “keep you in all your ways”, it means 24/7 divine protection for you!

My friends, your heavenly Father is watching over you. That is why no evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your dwelling. And He has a host of angels to keep you in all your ways!
