God Will Send Protection
"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them."
Psalm 34:7 NIV
If you ask my family, they'll tell you that I used to be the biggest "scaredy-cat" they knew. To this day, I still get a little edgy when it comes to the dark. As we grow, so do our fears. My fears of the dark, bugs, or the boogieman have evolved into much more realistic fears, such as someone hurting either of my girls while I'm not around, my husband losing his job, or someone breaking in when I'm home alone. It's tempting to live your life in fear when you have scary things lurking around every corner. However, if we turn to the Bible for God's take on these frightening thoughts, we can find comfort in Psalm 34:7. If we love God and obey his word, we can trust that he will send a guardian angel on our behalf to set up a camp around us and protect us.
Furthermore, if we dive a little deeper into the book of Psalms, we will find in Psalm 91:11-12 an addition to the previous scripture. It says, "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone (NIV)." This gives us a little better insight to the lengths these angels are willing to take to protect you. I mean, if they're willing to prevent you from striking your foot against a stone, can you just imagine what else they could protect you from? Overcoming your fears can be easy with the Lord, you've got to trust that he will hold true to the protection he promises us. Believe me when I say, his protection is real and unfathomable.
