God Protects Us
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."”
Psalm 91:1-2 (ESV)
Your fears are not absurd. The world is shot through with real risks — a phone call announcing bad news, a journey on a tired road, an encounter that turns sour. The protection God promises is not a magic shield that would let you escape every trial — He did not spare that even from His own Son.
It is a different kind of protection: a dwelling, a place where your soul rests even when your circumstances tremble. There are things that may reach you outwardly; there are others, deeper, that He keeps safe as long as you abide in Him.
The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalm 121:7-8 (ESV)
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 (ESV)
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
Proverbs 18:10 (ESV)
