Take Cover

Psalms 91:4 (NLT)
4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

There will be times this year that we must have time to regroup from the things that will ultimately come our way. We will need a place to take cover from the things of this world. And we have that place beneath the wings of God. Wouldn't it be nice if the things of this life would have no power to hurt us? We find the ability to let things bounce off us and stick to God when we are protected by His faithful promises. His promises this verse says will become our armor. For God's promises to protect us we must know what they are. By reading God's word and meditating on it we become like rubber. Able to let things bounce off of us and stick to God as we cover ourselves with His wings. Being covered by His wings denotes a closeness to God that only time each day with Him can bring. We in this manner allow Him to cover us and shield us from the things that come our way.
Jesus said in John 17:15-17 (NLT)
15 I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.
16 They do not belong to this world any more than I do.
17 Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.

Notice that we are to remain in the world even though we are no longer of this world so Jesus prayed that Father God would keep us safe from the evil one. 
Also notice that we are made holy by the word of God. As we under the guidance of the Holy Spirit read His word, the Holy Spirit teaches us what God's word means for living our lives correctly while here on this earth and our lives become holy to God.
God's word is the truth that we need to live the way God intends for us to do. We know from God's word that He wants the best for us and we find it as we stay in close communion with God through His written word.
So when the things of the world begin to get you down, take cover.
But you can not take cover if you don't know God through His Son Jesus Christ. You are constantly exposed to the devil and his evils schemes for you.. So ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins against God and invite Him into your life to take charge and He will if you mean business with Him. Read the scriptures at the bottom of this page and it will guide you as you ask Jesus to forgive your sins.  If you will do this then you will be able to take cover from the evil one and the things of this world.
We will come into contact with a lot of negative things this year but if we have God we don't have to let those things get us down. Remember when negative things come your way to "take cover."
