Deliver us from Evil - Psalm 120-121


Psalms 121:7
The Lord will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.


Rest in this thought and this wonderful truth!  For those who walk with God, Psalm 121 may be one of the shortest but most powerful Psalms we can red and believe in.   To know that God will protect us from evil is a thought to place our faith upon.   We know so little in life.  We think we know a lot.  But, we don't.   But, God has given us this chapter in His beloved Word to give us rest and assurance that He will protect us.  In Matthew 6:13, in the Lord's Prayer, we are told to pray, "deliver us from evil."   The reason we can pray in that manner is that God has already promised to "protect us from all evil" in this Psalm.   In Proverbs 2:12 we are told that if we seek after wisdom as we would seek gold and riches that God will "deliver us from evil."   So, our obedience to God's Word and the pursuit of it is God's method to deliver us.   As we obey God's Word He will keep us from evil.   So, we have a promise, a prayer and a principle all driven by the character and person of God, who will protect every believer from evil.   Use them in your fight of faith today.
