God's Security System

I will defend My house against marauding forces. Never again will an oppressor overrun My people for now I AM KEEPING WATCH!
Zech.9:8

I know in the scripture God is talking about His house, but when I read this scripture I like to put the emphasis on the last phrase. For now I AM KEEPING WATCH and insert the picture of my house.

I don't think any home security system out there can offer the same benefits as the Heavenly Security System God offers.

He will defend my house against marauding forces. Not just a few frogs, or algae in the pond but maurading forces. Forces designed to wreck havoc on my household. Forces set out to destroy anything and everything in their path. Forces seen and unseen.

Never again will an oppressor overrun My people. WOW! What a promise. This is security at it's best. When we get pulled under by the daily news, our dwindeling finances, job loss,divorce, kids gone astray all the things maurading forces try to throw at us to bring us to a stop, God says NEVER AGAIN.

My choice, get pulled under by the maurading forces trying to destroy me, or Stand on the promise of NEVER AGAIN. Hmmm, let me think for a minute. Maurading Forces or God's promise of NEVER AGAIN. I choose God's Promise, my final answer!

When I make a choice to follow Him and welcome Him into my home I can live with the security that not only His NEVER AGAIN goes into effect but, and this is the best part, NOW HE IS KEEPING WATCH.

What on earth do I have to be worried about when My God, My Father is keeping watch over my house? Can you imagine? How awesome, I have the best security system in the known universe!

You can have it too. It only takes a minute to install. Open up your heart to Him, give yourself and all your stuff to Him and He will keep watch over you too.

Unlike the maurading forces, He won't set foot in your heart or on your property until you ask Him, He's a gentleman, He won't force His way in, but when you open the door and say come in
He will enter and begin His Watch! And you will be changed forever.

In my Father's House

When I was little I can remember my Mom putting decorative items in the front window then going out to the road to see how they looked. Her explaination was she wanted our house to be inviting incase someone needed help.

I've never forgotten that, and to this day, I am painfully conscious how my home looks to people passing by. You should see me obsess over what my Christmas tree looks like from outside! My goal is to have a home that is warm and inviting from the outside and comforting on the inside!

Lot's of people are waiting for their big fancy mansion in heaven. I figure they imagine if God had a house it would be quite a showplace.

My mansion would be a cottage with a candle in each window and lots of bedrooms for anyone who needed a safe place to stay. Lot's of laughter, singing and dancing. Oh, and lots of dark chocolate and coffee!

When I think of my Father's house it's not too much different. I picture something homey and inviting. Shear curtains in the windows so you can see the lights and family activities in side, a fire in the fireplace and lots of people smiling and happy, feeling safe and protected. Not even sensing that, in His presence they are being transformed into His image.

I love my Father, He's everything I need.

And the good news is, even though I'm His favorite, He love you as much as He does me!
Aren't you glad He loves us all the same?
