Psalm 121:8 says, “The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall keep thy soul.”
This verse is a beautiful assurance that God will protect us and keep us safe from harm. It’s not a promise of a life free from problems or difficulties, but rather a guarantee that God will be with us during those times, keeping us safe and guiding us through them.
To apply this in daily life, try meditating on this verse every morning before you start your day. Remind yourself that no matter what challenges come your way, God is there watching over you. You can also practice gratitude each night for the ways you feel God’s presence in your life throughout the day.
For example, consider the story of Corrie Ten Boom. She and her family were known for hiding Jews during World War II in their home in the Netherlands. Despite being caught and sent to concentration camps, Corrie’s faith stayed strong. She often quoted Psalm 121:8, finding comfort and strength in God’s promise to keep her safe. Her story illustrates how trusting in God’s protection can bring peace and courage even in the darkest of times.
