God Guards Our Lives

 

“ Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful one”

—Psalm 97:10

In a world where danger seems to lurk around every corner, who will protect us? Of course, we’re not the first group of people to have to walk a dangerous road.

From his own experience, the Psalmist offers these words from Psalm 97:10-12:

Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.

Not only does the Psalmist assure us that God guards our lives, he offers us a way of responding when he instructs us to “Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.”

Let us take this opportunity at the beginning of a new day to rejoice in God’s loving protection. Let’s praise Him for guarding our lives.
