| “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.” |
| —Psalm 34:7 |
When you go to sleep at night, do you like to have the covers all pulled up around you. It’s almost like a cocoon of warmth and protection. Most of us enjoy the feeling of security that a nice cozy blanket can provide, especially when it’s cooler during the night.
King David recognized that in the depth of his misery and trouble, God had provided a covering around him that was even more secure than a warm blanket on a cold night. That covering of protection came from the presence of the angel of the Lord.
Notice what David writes in Psalm 34:7:
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
As followers of the Great King Jesus, we “Christ’s-ones” have that same strong protection surrounding us, as well. God puts His guarding angel in charge of us to keep us all the days of our lives. We can move forward each day, secure in the knowledge that we are protected.
So, as we come to the start of this new day, let’s remember to give thanks to God for His protection. And also, let’s remember that we most certainly are under the guardianship of the God who loves us with His eternal love.
