Male and female of all flesh went in as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut him in. – Genesis 7:16<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The God Who lives in you is One who “opens doors that no man can shut” (Revelation 3:8).<\/p>\n

He’s also One who shuts you in, such that the flood waters cannot reach you.<\/p>\n

God shut Noah in, and despite the devastating effects of the flood waters around him – where “every living thing on the earth was wiped out” (Genesis 7:23) – it did not touch him, or those who were with him inside the Ark.<\/p>\n

Because God had shut him in.<\/p>\n

The boundaries of your life have been established by your Creator who hems you in “behind and before” (Psalm 139:5).<\/p>\n

God has hemmed you in, and the devastating flood waters cannot touch you.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a goal for you to aspire to, but a Truth you simply need to receive.<\/p>\n

Despite the news headlines, despite personal experiences and despite contradicting voices, you simply have to choose the Reality of God sealing you into a place\u00a0“which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen”. (Job 28:7)<\/p>\n

God has shut you in, and nothing can harm you.<\/p>\n

Like gravity, this will continue to be true, whether or not you believe it. And like gravity,\u00a0how you benefit from this Truth depends on how you receive it.<\/p>\n

Selah.<\/p>\n
