God will keep them safe! 

“His faithful promises are your…protection.” Psalm 91:4 NLT

When our children are growing up, their protection and safety are uppermost in our minds. But how about the families of emergency personnel, like police, paramedics, and firefighters? Any day their loved one goes to work is a day they may not come home. And how about the families of those in our armed forces, serving in foreign lands under constant threat and danger? When it comes to the safety of the people we love, here are wonderful Bible promises we can stand on: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1 NIV). “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour” (Isaiah 43:1-3 NKJV). “You chart the path ahead of me, and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment, you know where I am. You know what I am going to say before I even say it. You both precede and follow me, and place your hand of blessing on my head. This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe! I can never be lost to your Spirit! I can never get away from my God!” (Psalm 139:3-7 TLB). No insurance company can come close to matching the protection God guarantees to those He loves. So be at peace today – God will keep your loved one safe.
