In Case of Robbery
John 10:10 (New Living Translation)
10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
As some of you know, I’m a loan officer at a credit union. Every quarter we go through different trainings to protect ourselves and our company’s assets. One of the trainings we go through is “In Case of Robbery”. It’s a DVD that shows an actual robbery in progress and what actions we are to take once the robbery is complete.
The first step is to let a team leader know and they immediately go into securing the branch. If a robbery occurs at our institution we must call 3 people: the police, the FBI, and our regional managers. Last week as I was going through my robbery ‘stand down’ the Lord quicken in my spirit that when the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy us, we too should call on 3: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
A robbery can come in any form. It could be the un-destined lost of a loved one, the loss of a job, a divorce, a bankruptcy, and the list goes on. No matter what the enemy has stolen, we can always call on our enforcer to retrieve it. God is greater than anything we could ever acquire or lose. Anything meant for us, will be ours if we put it in God’s hand. What doors He opens, no man can close. What doors He closes, no man can open.
Today as we look back over the things that have been taken from us, let’s turn over our information to the proper authorities and let God handle it. Job lost everything, but God gave it all back, greater and better than before.
