My little addition to Our Daily Bread (8/25/12):
The Lord protects you;
the Lord is a shelter right by your side.
(Psalm 121:5 HCSB)
Joe Stowell entitled his note in today’s ODB “Sleepless in Heaven,” apparently from the promise that ”your Protector will not slumber” (v3b). While the parallels he draws to the air-traffic-control tower are nice and appropriate, this promise in verse 5 is something that cries out for me to embrace. Not only does our Protector have the perspective to see the big picture and guide through the dangers, He’s walking the path with me – both a strong support and refuge within arms reach (“at your right hand” as the New King James Version translated it). It is a marvelous truth that He is not only watching over His own from Heaven, He’s walking beside us and filling us from within.
I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love, and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
(Ephesians 3:17b-19 HCSB)
