The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
God’s protection for His people is paramount in His promises to us. God is not ever asleep that He does not notice when we either slip or slide or struggle in life. God wants us to know that He cares for us. That is Psalm 121. It all about God’s care. In the previous verse it states that, “... the LORD is your shade on your right hand.” Because He is our shade, we are not harmed by the rays of the sun, nor are we exposed at night to the wild beast of prey, By the moon. We can rest in His constant and capable care. The same truth was stated, in similar language, in Psalm 91. Note:
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
God is hovering over us to protect us from the elements of the world, whether those elements are physical or spiritual. We can rest in God’s abundant and constant care.
