Psalm 105:14–15

TOUCH NOT MINE ANOINTED

Psalm 105:14-15. “He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; saying, ‘Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.’”

TOUCH NOT MINE ANOINTED. There are ways to remember the Lord’s wonders, But remembrances begin with Him Whose Person and name are Holy, His people praise Him for His blessings to them. We speak of His marvelous works, And ways in which He remembered us; His will we will ever seek; Complete joy when we see His face.

His people in the past were guided By His presence in the cloud and the fire. His will through the law, He provided Showed they were loved by One much higher Then the nations around experienced And they were filled with fear; For God’s people by Him inherited The land He had promised them there.

Those chosen by God are anointed, To fill a role and place God has given. We, like those in the past, are appointed To represent on earth the kingdom of heaven. The Lord defended the nation of the ancients, And will continually defend us now, Even though they and we try His patience, He preserves us even when we don’t know how.

To be counted among the anointed of God, Guarantees a safe place for me. The guidance of the Lord through His Word, It is available for me to see. In faith, we can move ahead with assurance, Knowing God’s anointed are protected by Him. I don’t know life’s turns or its distance, But I am sure His own aren’t neglected.

“Almighty God, who oversees all the activities of Thine own people: I come this morning to express my gratitude for the assurance of Thy presence in all of the experiences of my life. I don’t know what is around or ahead, but I do know Thee, and am assured I am safe when I abide in Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
