The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Psalms 121:7-8 (NIV)
Today’s post is a reminder of a very basic encouragement from Yahweh: he watches over us. He sees everything that goes on in our lives and he gazes on our lives because he loves us and wants to guide us. Sometimes it might seem like God is not watching our lives and is just letting bad things happen without any attention from him. But he is watching and he knows everything and he will act in his time. We are only in the first phase of the kingdom of God, so we must embrace suffering like Jesus did. But he is always watching and caring.
He “will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5, ESV) and “he cares for you” (1 Pet. 5:7, ESV). So take a few moments and remind yourself that he is watching over you right now, he cares about what you are doing and you can rest in his power and divine parenting.
