The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand
Psalm 121:5
God is right there, always. He’s your watchman and lookout. He’s your defender, your champion. There’s no better protection than God!
I love the mental image this verse elicits. God is there at your right hand side. He’s walking with each of us as we walk through our days, the good and the bad. He’s our shade at our right hand. So close, our shadow will never split from our bodies. God is just the same! He is our light and our protection. He would never abandon us, or leave us without our shadow! When I’m struggling with a difficult day, this thought is so comforting. It doesn’t matter the problem… a tough phone call, an unexpected email, a scary moment, a health event, he is always there. All I have to do is reach out to him for comfort, he’s never far away!
