The living LORD God protects His own even when it seems harsh to His people.  His discipline in your life and mine is for our maturing as His children, and for our protection,

Adam and Eve were protected from eating the fruit of the tree of life after they had sinned.  Before they thought the thought or before the thought could be voiced – they were sent out of that beautiful and bountiful garden.

What has happened in your life which you did not or do not understand?  Perhaps it is God’s protection taking you away or out from where you want to be.

What area of your life have you not yet turned over to the LORD God?

(NASB) Ephesians 5:17 “So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”

Whose will are you following, your own or the LORD’S?

(NASB) Colossians 1:9-10 “For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;”

May you “…be filled with the knowledge of His will

in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.”

“Therefore”…living under the LORD God’s Protection
