Passage Read: Psalm 124-127
Meditation Verses: 124:2-3

Thought

I really don't realize how much the Lord has protected me, because I don't see it. He keeps the wrath of man from overtaking me, so I have no idea what I've been spared or what He's protected me from. Or the wrath of demons. I know even less of what He does to protect me in the heavenly realms. Unless He had been for me, I surely would have been swallowed up long ago.

Application

There are things that I'll likely never know this side of heaven. Perhaps sitting with the angels, they'll tell me stories of things that almost befell me, but for their intervention at the Lord's command. But whom am I that any evil spirits would seek my harm, or that men would hate me and oppose me? Maybe there won't be many such stories, but even one is enough to amaze me that the Lord would care enough for someone at lowly as me, to deliver me from harm. I should still be in awe that He is looking out for me.
