The Lord is your constant protector, He never tires of watching over you…

It is said that David Livingstone, who became the great missionary explorer of Africa, during the nineteenth century, that upon completing his medical studies, he immediately set out for the “dark continent” of Africa.

With only one night to spend with his godly parents at their home in Blantyre, Scotland, he spoke earnestly with them about the great needs in Africa.

Rising at 5:00 on the morning of November 17, 1840, Livingstone led his parents in a final devotion before his departure.

He would never see his dear father again.

That morning Livingstone read Psalms 121 and 135, concerning both God’s protection and His majesty.

Then he departed for a life and ministry that would inspire thousands of Christians even to this day.

SELAH (let us pause and calmly think about these things)

Don’t you know that same God is also watching over you?

Psalm 121 (He Watches Over You) – The Psalms Project

Psalm 121
Contemporary English Version
(A song for worship.)

The Lord Will Protect His People
1 I look to the hills!
Where will I find help?

2 It will come from the Lord,
who created heaven and earth.

3 The Lord is your protector,
and he won’t go to sleep
or let you stumble.

4 The protector of Israel
doesn’t doze
or ever get drowsy.

5 The Lord is your protector,
there at your right side
to shade you from the sun.

6 You won’t be harmed
by the sun during the day
or by the moon[a] at night.

7 The Lord will protect you
and keep you safe
from all dangers.

8 The Lord will protect you
now and always
wherever you go.

This song expresses assurance and hope in God’s eternal protection, day and night.

He not only made the hills but all of heaven and earth as well.

We should never trust a lesser power than God himself or believe that answers to life’s deepest questions can be found in nature or this world’s wisdom.

Not only is God all-powerful, but He also watches over us.

He watches us like a sentinel or shepherd, alert to danger and ready to help with our needs.

Nothing diverts or deters Him. We are safe.

Let us welcome God’s caring and untiring watch over our lives.

Whatever you’re going through, wherever you go, God is already there before you (Ps 139:5), so take comfort in the knowledge that you are in good hands.

So take God’s Shalom-peace with you today, and have a wonderfully blessed day in Jesus!
