Ps. 121: God is Watching

Psalm 121:7-8 "The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."

The 121st Psalm is pretty incredible, and demonstrates just how closely and carefully God keeps watch over his people. He is constantly watching. He doesn't let anything fall to chance. Never slumbering or sleeping, he shows great care in protection.

My daughter is now about one month old. I have to sleep. Every night. I simply can't watch over her all the time. If I could watch over her all the time, I could not protect her from all the kinds of harm that can suddenly befall an infant.

It makes this watchfulness of God that much more wonderful, and it makes me glad.
