“The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.” Psalm 121:5 NLT
Long shadows when Famous and I take summer walks are a sign we are missing the heat of the day. Even on days with predicted highs in the 90’s, we can find strolls at sunrise and sunset to be pleasant. Even if the sun were high, Famous would know to head for the shady areas. And should he become distracted by tantalizing scents in the grass, I would know to stand and allow my shadow to keep the sun’s rays off of his dark coat.
Do you think that God dismisses us when we are not paying attention to his work each day? Do you think He waits remotely for us to summon him like a genie from a bottle? No! He is actively watching and loving us, providing protection of which we may never be aware. He knows the dangers around us better than we do, and He can give and take life as He pleases. Seeking his presence each day not only assures us of his protection, but it also equips us to be bold in accomplishing his mission.
Protect me with Your shadow throughout this day, O God!
