– Scripture:

                        No Harm

I am God. The blood will serve as a sign on the houses where you live. When I see the blood, I will pass over you—no disaster will touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.

                       Exodus 12:12-13 MSG

 – Reflection:

 In the Old Testament, God sent plagues on Pharaoh and his people for not letting the Israelites escape slavery. The final plague was that the firstborn sons were going to die. God told the Israelites they had to put blood on the doorposts of their houses. When the death angel came, no harm would come to their family if they had blood over their house. That night thousands of Egyptian lives were lost, but none of the Israelites who lived nearby. What was the difference? One had the blood, and the other didn’t. One was under the shelter of the Most High; the other wasn’t.

Where do we go from here?

When you keep the blood over your house and honor God, He hides you when trouble comes. Things that take other people out can’t take you out. The trouble that defeats others won’t stop you. You don’t have to live worried, fearing what might happen, fearing disease, fearing being laid off. You have blood on your doorpost. You belong to the Highest God.

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank You that I am covered by the blood of Jesus. Thank You for protecting me in every area of my life and family. I believe You have put a bloodline of protection around me, and no weapon formed against me will prosper. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
