Our Mine-Sweeper God

English Audio Version

A mine sweeper is vital in times of war.

Our enemies will plant hidden charges designed to cut us at the knees when we least expect.

If we plan our course through mined waters, our chances of getting through without being blown up are slim to none.

God says he is our mine sweeper. He goes before us, and everything and everyone that might bring us to disaster, he tosses aside as if they were nothing.

Isaiah 41:11-12 says:

“Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all.”

Here are four truths we can pull from this passage.

Truth No. 1: “All who are incensed against you shall be put to shame.”

Their cruel words will be their own downfall. Their anger will return to them in its full force.

Truth No. 2: “Those who strive against you shall be as nothing.”

They not only will be unable to hurt you, they will fall into their own snares.

Truth No. 3: “You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them.”

No more looking over your shoulder. They will run away from God’s awesome presence in your life.

Truth No. 4: “Those who war against you shall be as nothing at all.”

Poof. Forgotten as if they never were. You are free from their oppression, and your future becomes brighter than you though possible.

Let God sweep the mines out of your path. There is no length to which the Lord will not go to protect his children.
