When enemy surround army, the army dey find place where e fit defend itself. E dey quickly look for high ground or place wey go give am shelter and protection. Na so e suppose be for your spiritual life. When the arrows of the evil one dey hit you, or when life become heavy load for you, especially because of your sin, look for the high ground and the greatest place of safety. This place na our Lord Heart wey full of mercy. No doubt say Im Heart na place of safety for you. Inside Im Heart, you go find safety from the battle wey dey tire you, and you go discover say you dey inside strong fortress of Mercy. We must understand and welcome this particular side of Mercy: say na place of protection. We no fit endure the hardships of life by ourselves. We no fit fight the battles of life if we depend on our own strength and skills. Nobody get enough ability to fight off the enemy wey dey rage. Run go God Mercy for safety, and E go protect you from every harm (See Diary #1516).
Think well about how you need protection. If na only you dey face this world, you no go ever survive. The temptations, attacks and evil wey full this world go destroy you. But if you get strong place of protection, nothing go harm you. That protection na God Mercy. Take time today think about God and Im Mercy as this kind strong place of protection. See Am as the One wey dey defend you for everything, and run go this safe place. The Lord go surround you with Im grace and keep you for peace inside Im Heart, where you dey stay.
Lord, when I feel the weight, attacks and temptations of this world dey press me, give me wisdom to look for safety. Make I run come meet You and hide inside Your Heart wey full of mercy. Make I never doubt Your perfect protection, and make I always find shelter for You. Jesus, na You I trust.
