“The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life…” Psalm 121:7
We tend to lose sight of the big picture of life when we’re just trying to get through the day. The earlier verses in Psalm 121 remind us that God is watching over us constantly, in every moment, that He is caring for us each day and each night. But here the perspective zooms out.
God keeps us from all harm. God watches over our lives.
From start to finish, not just on these tired days and nights, but for this whole life, He is there. And He cares.
Since God ordains our days before they come to be and knits us together in our mother’s womb, He truly does watch over us from the beginning of our lives. Because of Jesus, we can look forward to life everlasting. So God will watch over us through our “ends,” and forevermore.
All of life, no matter how big and incomprehensible the scope of it, is in God’s hands. He who keeps us, who protects us, who guides us, who will make all things new and be with us forever, is watching over us in the details and in the big picture.
When have you seen God care for the details of your life? How do you see Him caring for you in the big picture too?
