God’s Persistent Protection

Reading: Psalm 121:5–6

Devotional:

The psalmist calls God our “shade.” In the desert, shade meant survival. God’s protection is like that—constant, life-giving, essential. He shields us from the scorching heat of the day and the hidden fears of the night.

What are the “scorching suns” in your life—work pressures, family conflict, burnout? What are the “night fears”—anxieties that sneak in when it’s quiet? Just as shade restores a weary traveler, God’s presence restores you.

Reflection Question: What daily pressures or hidden anxieties do you need to bring under the shade of God’s protection today?

Action Step: Write down one specific fear or pressure you face, and place it under your Bible as a symbol of resting it in God’s shade.
