In the Eye of the Storm Part 2

The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. Psalm 121:5-8


When we are walking in the desert, that place where many lessons are learned and loneliness seems to be our constant companion, the Lord is our keeper. He walks with us in that dry place, He holds us close, He keeps us no matter what. In the dry place, where there seems to be no refreshing for our souls, the sun does not scorch us or strike us in the high noon and the moon does not bother us at night. In that desert, snakes and scorpions cannot touch us, vultures will encircle us but never taste our flesh because though we are going through a painful season and there seems to be no end, he does not allow any evil to touch us. We are the apples of His eye and no matter what we go through, we must keep in mind that He allowed it for a reason. The reason may be to teach us to depend on Him. It may be to show us how to endure and be joyful. It may be to take us to the next level in what He has planned for us. But whatever the reason, He has allowed it and He will bring us through. He preserves our soul. He preserves our going out and our coming in. Wherever we go, He preserves us, He watches over us, He makes sure no harm comes to us that would try to destroy us. The awesome part is that He promises to preserve our goings and comings today and forevermore!! Praise the Lord!! Let us remember who keeps us when we are going through situations we don’t understand and would seem to tear us apart. Remember that He will preserve us from all evil because He has our backs and He is our Father. No matter what you go through, trust God to be there with you through it all and to make a way for you in the midst of it.
