Psalms 121:7-8
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Wow! God proved that He keeps me from harm today. A stop sign now resides on our Main St through my town. It wasn’t there for 40-plus years, but it is there now. I believe it has been there for a year, however, I don’t normally drive in that direction. Needless to say, I totally forgot about it and almost took out another car. Good thing I was going slow, I have good brakes and an even Greater God!
Some people will tell you I am oversimplifying this verse. Others will say they were in a car accident and God didn’t protect them or someone they loved died. I wish I had an answer for their loss. I wish I could say that these verses mean we will never have anything bad happen in our lives. I want us to all live with rainbows and unicorns. Life doesn’t work that way. As a matter of fact, in many ways, I probably did over-simplify it. Not that God didn’t protect me.
These verses show how God provided Jesus to take our sins away. He is also always there for us. Evil will have no power over us that we don’t give it. We will go through troubles. We will have hardships and pain. However, what more do we not see that God has kept from us? Don’t forget, He has kept the greatest evil away, eternal death away from Him forever and ever.
Lord, thank you for keeping me safe, today, tomorrow, and forever. ~amen
