I am your protection and security, My child. I am strong in your defense and I am sure in my wisdom and strategy against My enemy, whom I have defeated.
My Word is sharp like a two-edged sword, bringing discernment of inner motives, revealing and separating that which comes from the soul versus that which comes from the spirit.
I am the living Stone which men who desire this world's authority and power have rejected, but which is precious to and chosen by God to be the living cornerstone to which you are aligned and from which you receive guidance and direction.
I am that foundation that supports you, and will never shift or break, always holding you up securely as you are shaped and positioned as living stones, built up in the most precious faith, forming a dwelling place for God's glory and a shelter of refuge for those in need.
Receive My protection, accept My shaping and placement, rest on Me as I support and sustain you in the work I assign you. You are precious to Me, even as I am precious to My Father.
