God Is With You

AUGUST 8, 2023

The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.
Psalm 121:7-8

 Recommended Reading: Psalm 139:1-12

Sometimes Christians ask, “Given the Bible’s promises about God’s protection, why do Christians still experience hurtful, even evil, events?” Psalm 121 is a good example of such promises.

This psalm has four stanzas—the first states that our help comes from God; the last three make illustrative promises about how God helps us (verses 3-4, 5-6, 7-8). These promises, taken literally, suggest that nothing bad will ever happen to God’s people. But that’s not the psalmist’s point. Rather, he says that God will watch over His people wherever they go and whatever they do; God will not “slumber nor sleep” (verse 4). David expressed God’s watchfulness in detail in Psalm 139:1-12. And Paul summarized God’s care in Romans 8:35-39: Nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (verse 39).

God is with you today—right now—watching over you and your whole life. Nothing passes through the filter of His will and awareness, “even forevermore.”

God watches and weeds us, and continues his labour upon us, till he brings us to the end of his promise.
