Where can we keep the things that we value so that they will remain safe and secure? Are we confident that banks can and will protect the valuables that we place in their safe deposit boxes? Or do we place these items in some hidden place within our homes? What about the people we love? How do we keep them safe from harm? We can’t stay with them every moment or arm ourselves with weapons to protect them against every threat.
Psalm 121:7-8 says, “The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” The Lord promises to guard, watch over, and attend to you carefully if you will ask Him and then let Him. He is able to watch over us because He is everywhere and knows everything that can and will happen to us. He is also powerful enough to keep us from every evil that threatens us. No one can snatch us out of His hands. Let’s ask Him to attend carefully to our protection from evil and then trust Him to fulfill His promise to do so.
