He watches over us.
This morning as I sat on the floor with my daughter and a thought came over me. She was sitting in front of me as I watched over her. I thought about God and how He must keep watch over us. She couldn’t see me behind her but every now and again she would reach back and touch me. I assume it was to make sure I was still there. It’s hard to tell what a seven month old is thinking but I imagine it is what we are all thinking. Even though I can’t see you God, I want to reach back and touch you to reassure myself you are there. I couldn’t truly know how a father feels about his children until I became one. Now I know what it feels like to have someone so fragile to protect. Now I know the blessing of children. Now I know how God must feel.
Psalm 121:8 5-8 (NIV)-
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
