Angelic Protection

God has wonderful promises for those who fear him. We may face obstacles and challenges, but we have the comfort of knowing that His angel “encamps” around us. He promises to deliver us.

The Hebrew words give a picture of pitching a tent, prepared to stay. God is saying His angel is right by our side all the time.

If you fear God, this promise is true for you. You never need to worry or give in to the threats and attacks of the adversary. Just remember that God is with you. You might not see them, but His angels are encamping around you, prepared to protect and deliver you.

When David wrote this psalm, his heart was filled with encouragement. He gained confidence and felt the joy of the Lord. “I will bless the Lord at all times,” he wrote. “His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (v. 1). He boasted on in the Lord, confident that He heard him and “delivered me from all my fears” (v. 4).

David knew the Lord heard him when he cried out, and “saved him out of all his troubles” (v. 6). What a wonderful promise!

Realize angels are watching over you and your family. Don’t give in to fear, worry, or doubt. Rather, bless the Lord and fill your life with praise. He is with you, and His angels are guarding you!
