Friends, God never offered a life without problems but offer protection in every situation if we trust in Him.
Psalm 91 is a Psalm which I memorised as a small boy. When I go through problems, threats, loneliness, difficulties…my God is so real and His protection is so divine.
Let us DWELL in HIM continuously and experience His divine protection throughout our life.
