Do You Feel Safe? God’s Protocol for Protection

The Challenge of Unsafety

• ⚠️ The world is experiencing a surge in crime and senseless violence, leading to widespread fear among families, cities, and leaders.
• 🧠 Many leaders, including CEOs and parents, are grappling with the question of where God is amidst the rising dangers and seeking security.

God as Ultimate Protector

• 🛡️ The Bible assures that God is our defender, shield, and strong tower, offering protection when the world feels dangerous.
• 💡 Psalm 18:2 highlights God as a rock, fortress, deliverer, and refuge, emphasizing His active, present, and eternal protection.
• 👑 King David's journey, despite being riddled with betrayal and death threats, demonstrated that his safety came from God's presence, not his armies (Psalm 23:4).

Leading with Faith and Integrity

• 💼 Rosalind Brewer, a prominent CEO, exemplifies modern leadership by navigating corporate challenges (COVID, public health crises, rising crime) with divine, mindful, and ethical faith.
• ✅ Brewer's quote, "doing what's right even when it's uncomfortable will protect you in the long run," underscores the importance of integrity and righteousness in leadership.

Five Divine Protocols for Leaders

• 🙏 Prioritize prayer over panic as God's guidance serves as a shield before any action or retaliation.
• 🛡️ Walk in integrity, recognizing righteousness not as weakness but as spiritual armor that guards those who walk upright.
• 🤝 Surround yourself with watchmen – wise and faithful people who can cover blind spots, just as David had mighty men and Jesus had disciples.
• 🗣️ Declare God's promises boldly, such as Psalm 91, to affirm divine protection and angelic guardianship.
• 🧭 Lead by faith, not by fear, as faith brings clarity, calm, and divine covering, preventing fear from clouding decisions.

Activating God's Protection

• 🚀 Leaders are challenged to install a spiritual security system in their lives, starting each day with Psalm 91.
• 🏠 It's important to declare God's protection over workplaces and make decisions based on godly faith, not fear, asking God to station angels over people.
