Fort in Agra, India
Just came back from a month on the road – one week in Russia and three in India. I committed this psalm in NIV to memory during the trip and it was a source of peace throughout.
For the person who will remain in close relationship with the Most High, there is rest and comfort in the protection of the Almighty.
What can I say about my God? He’s my escape, my safe place, my rest and I have full confidence in him.
God tucks you in snugly under his protective wing; your defense is found in his care.
That’s where there is no fear of your house being burglarized while you sleep or drive-by shootings during the day; nor the boogie man at night; nor the malaria-carrying mosquito during the day.
A thousand people may die, ten thousand people in close proximity, but you come out unscathed. You’re just an eye witnesses to the consequences of degenerate human nature.
If you will admit that your comfort and protection are solely in God and you remain in harmonious relationship with him, no harm will overtake you; no disaster will come near the place where you lay your head.
He will command his angels to take care of you wherever you go—even to the extent of giving you a little boost to keep you from stubbing your toe on a rock.
You can walk right by a lion or a cobra; for that matter, you could step on a lion or snake.
“Because she loves me,” God says, “That’s why I watch out for her. I will protect her because she gives me the credit I deserve. When she calls, I’ll answer. I’ll be right there with her when things get scary, and I’ll see her through it, and honor her with my protection. I’ll give her a long and satisfying life, and she will see how I preserve my own.”
