THE SURETY OF OUR SECURITY

Behold he that keepeth Israel shall, neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper; the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil; he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve the going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.–Psalm 121:4-8   Earlier I spoke about the source of our strength and the strength of our source, today I want you to think about the surety of our security. “Behold”–this is a call for attention, a call for us to see that, just as God kept Israel (both the man and the nation), He is able to keep us safe. He is our “keeper”. He is able to keep us from the devices of the devil, the dominion of sin, the danger of error, etc. Circumstances do not matter to God. Whether it be day or night He is the same, and He is with us and for us. God has promised to preserve those who trust Him. He gives us both provision and protection.   Those who trust God are protected “from all evil”, at all times and in all places. Nothing is excluded. He keeps us everyday and in every way, “even for evermore”. As God’s children we have blessed assurance that He will protect and provide regardless of our situation. He has given us “exceeding great and precious promises”(2 Peter 1:4), and He cannot lie(Titus 1:2)—–claim them today!
