What I want us to think
about today is that it is the LORD who watches over us and does what He does
for us. Stop and consider who He is. He is Lord. What do we mean when we call
Him, Lord? He is absolute ruler and
controller of life. There is no power or authority equal to Him. He is the
beginning and end of all things. He has the right to determine life and how it
is lived. He alone is able to control and alter that which He has created. He
alone is worthy to be called Lord.
Now, go back and reread
the verses for today. It is the LORD who watches over you. Isn't that great
news?!! He doesn't miss a thing in His gaze. He knows at all times where you
are at. The LORD stands as your protective shield. Satan cannot get to you!!
You are absolutely safe when you are under His care. No one, nothing, can harm
you when the Lord is protecting you.
The LORD keeps you from
all evil and preserves your life. He keeps you from ALL evil. Isn't that a
marvelous truth? The Lord will not let evil overtake you as long as you stay
under His care. No matter what kind of sin it may be, the Lord can, and wants
to, protect you from it. His intent is to keep you free from sin and to preserve
your life for eternity.
Now, this wonderful
truth requires our cooperation. We must
let the Lord watch over us and protect us.
We must not strike out on our own.
We must abide in Him always. We
must work with Him to keep us holy.
The LORD keeps watch
over you as you come and go, which reminds me that I am never alone. He is
always keeping His eyes on us. He is always aware of our needs and is ever
ready to meet them. He is with me each step I take. He is my Lord, my Emmanuel!
