God is my Protector

Psalm 91:9-12; 14-16

If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
No evil will conquer you; no plaque will come near your dwelling.
For He orders the angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.

The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them. I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my salvation."

I feel so secure when I picture God as my protector. I look back at times in my life when I truly know he sent angels to protect me. And to think they are always there! I just don't always notice! The more I study the scriptures, the more I converse with God, the more I am able to see of his love and protection. And the more I am able to truly depend on him and cast all my burdens and worries on him. He is ever present!
