“For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble…” Ps27.5 ESV
When we make the Lord our trust, He assures us of His sovereign protection. This does not always look the way we would want but Christ is watching over us nonetheless. Sometimes God protects in the immediate sense, rescuing us from certain physical harm. I say sometimes because experience teaches us, even the death of Jesus teaches us, that there are times when He will not. But though God will not always protect us in the immediate sense, or in the way we would choose, He always protects in the ultimate sense. And, in either case, our life is secure in His hands and we are promised to “look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” This of course is the only real security available to those who dwell in the land of the dying. 9/20/2008 ts
