S – The Lord will protect you from all harm; he will protect your life. ⁸ The Lord will protect your coming and going both now and forever. 

Psalms  121:7–8 CSB

O – Commentary:

These verses portray Yahweh’s protection as something that moves around with the psalmist—Yahweh’s protection is not just a stationary hideout or only in Jerusalem. Yahweh is present everywhere with His people.

 John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016), Ps 121:7–8.

A – This was a bold idea in the Old Testament – God wasn’t stationary.  He didn’t dwell in a tent, temple or was confined to a location.  He is with us and protects us.  Even when challenges come our way, He is guarding and attending to us.  That should cause us to move toward Him and not away.

R – Heavenly Father, you are omnipresent and all knowing.  Thank you for your love for us that covered our sins.  We are grateful that you also want to know us and protect us from the schemes of the enemy.
