The Lord will protect your coming and going both now and forever. – (Psalm 121:8, HCSB)
The Lord will protect you as you come and go, both now and forever! – (Psalm 121:8, ERV)
He guards you when you leave and when you return, He guards you now, He guards you always. – (Psalm 121:8, MSG)
It is good to be reminded that God will be with us with all of our comings and goings. I love to travel, as in enjoying different destinations, but I am not a fan of flying. This timely reminder is good, as this time tomorrow, we will be on a plane, in the air, traveling to spend time with family and friends in much warmer weather. God goes before us, beside us, and brings up the rear. He is present to keep us safe and remind us that He holds us in His hands. I need not be nervous, but rather I simply need to seek and trust in Him. Time away is a gift, as is a safe return. May we ever remember the Lord’s faithfulness to protect our coming and going, and trust Him to be with us, always.
Wherever we go,
Whatever we do;
The Lord will be near,
Take us safely through.
For He knows the time,
The days of our lives;
From start to finish,
Each one is designed.
Prepared with purpose,
Goodness and His grace;
So we may choose love,
Throughout all our days.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You go before us, remain with us, and watch behind us. Thank You that You are near wherever we go. Thank You that we can trust You to keep and protect us. Forgive us for our fearfulness and nerves when we are not in control of how we get where we are going. Teach us to trust in You to lead us in wisdom and grace. Show us how to love those around us well, wherever we are. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we seek You to lead us and remain with us wherever we go, each and every day we draw breath. Amen.
