It gives me such assurance to know that the Lord can deliver us from trouble and He is ready to go through all kinds of trouble that we face just to save us. That is why the psalmist tells us today that in God is my safety and glory…You can trust him at all times. But do you know what is better than being delivered from trouble?
Not getting into trouble in the first place.
Dearly beloved in Christ, we do not just seek miracles and protection from God without seeking the wisdom from Him to stay protected and out of trouble. There are times when the challenges we face are beyond our control but if we pour out our hearts before Him, He comes to rescue us for He is our refuge, our stronghold and our fortress.
Be that as it may, I have also discovered that often, we experience His protection when we follow the Holy Spirit and lean on His wisdom when making decisions. Every day, we need His wisdom, just as we need His protection. After all, Proverbs 4:5, 7 tells us that “Get wisdom! Get understanding! . .Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
Scriptures tells us that Christ has become for us wisdom from God (1 Cor. 1:30). So what we really need is the Lord Jesus Himself. We need to stand up! Stand out! and stretch out our hands towards Him. We need to lean on Him and draw close to Him daily. He is our wisdom and only He can cause us to always be at the right place at the right time. He alone can remove our shame and clothe us with salvation.
I believe that many troubles and dangerous situations can be completely avoided when we do not depend on our own wisdom and planning, but involve the Lord in all that we do (Prov. 3:6).
Oftentimes, wisdom and divine protection work hand in hand. Knowing that we can trust God for His protection certainly does not mean that we should willfully put ourselves in precarious situations.
We need to apply wisdom and heed the Lord’s leading through the wise counsel of the people around us, such as our leaders in the local church and our spouses. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” For instance, if your spouse has been telling you that you have a problem with speeding, please take heed for speed kills.

While there can be divine protection, do not be foolish and think that you can do whatever you want and nothing untoward will ever happen to you. I pray that as you involve the Lord and learn to walk in wisdom, you will begin to walk in a greater measure of peace, protection, and good success. Walk in wisdom to stay safe.
