PROMISE #133 - MAY 13
Promise #133:
I will keep watch over you and guard you forever.
Psalm 12:7 (WEB)
You will keep them, Yahweh.
You will preserve them from this generation forever.
In Psalm 12, King David discusses the wickedness that existed in his generation and how the poor were being abused by the ungodly of the day. Despite this seemingly depressing situation, David declares that even though ungodliness and pain surrounded him, the Lord would be faithful to watch over all His loved ones.
The NIV Bible says the Lord will keep the needy safe and protect us forever. The NLT Bible states that the Lord will protect the oppressed. Whichever translation you prefer, the point in today's promise is that the Lord has promised to watch over us and guard us forever...even in the midst of an ungodly generation.
We all know we are called to be in the world but not of the world. My prayer today is that each of us feels completely safe in our Father's hands, knowing that He has promised to watch over and guard us forever...even in the midst of very trying circumstances.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for watching over me day and night as I dwell under the shelter of your wing. You are my mighty fortress, where I find peace and safety, knowing fully that you promise to protect me forever. Help me to rest in this promise today so that I will not be distracted by the things in life that try to instill fear in me.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I will keep watch over you and guard you forever.
