Imagine being in a club of people that no one else associates with, being in that club, is actually blessing in disguise. You realize your true purpose for being on earth, when isolated from the world.
In this place, we find solace and give thanks to God, HE sheltered us for all of these years. We were never intended to be an associate of the world; their rejection was God’s protection over our lives. Look how blessed we are, those who were not allowed entry into their clubs. The rejected by the world, all ban together to form a Holy club of their own. They are the rejected that are protected by God, free from evil alliances of this world.
These blessings could not be appreciated until now, while we are witnessing enemy camps fall around the world, their very existence is blotted out of time. From outside, as we look through the windows of their clubs, and are thankful for being denied entry. This was God’s protection, all orchestrated by HIM, to save us from their same fate.
We all were designed for HIS Divine purpose, and God gives HIS chosen a wall of protection, and we are covered under HIS wing, the enemy has no power to touch us there, (Ezra 9:9). Though we are slaves, we were segregated from the world, and spiritually protected by God, who granted us a new life to rebuild and repair HIS house.
Father, spread YOUR protection over us who love YOUR Name, that we may rejoice in YOU, (Psalm 5:11).
Ezra 9:9
