The Promise of Protection
As parents or family members, one of our greatest desires is to keep our loved ones safe. Sometimes, that desire turns into fear when we think of the dangers of the outside world. However, we cannot be in all places at the same time. This is where God’s promise as our Keeper becomes our greatest security.
Psalm 121 assures us that the God who watches over us never sleeps. He is attentive to our “coming and going.” This covers the entire cycle of our day: from the moment we step out to our responsibilities until we return to the refuge of our home. He guards not only our bodies but also our souls, protecting us from the spiritual influences and attacks that try to divide us.
Resting in God’s protection allows us to live courageously. We do not walk with a spirit of fear, but of power and love. By trusting that His angels encamp around those who fear Him, we can send our children to school and go to work with the certainty that we are under the shadow of the Almighty. He is our ever-present shield and fortress.
