Hi there. I wanted to share with you a verse that I’ve personally been reading and spending time on this week that I feel like the Lord’s really been speaking to me on. It is Psalm 121:5, and it says, “The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day nor the moon by night.” And this verse is talking about the protection that the Lord gives us.
And I don’t know about you, but I am so incredibly thankful for the protection the Lord has given me throughout the years. And there’s times when I’ve seen it, and there’s times when I haven’t seen it, but I know that the Lord is working on my behalf. And something about this that’s really interesting is he talks about being the shade on your right hand. And if I think about that in terms of soldiers, soldiers have in their right hand, a sword, in their left hand is usually their shield. And so their left side is usually really well protected so that their right hand can fight. And the Lord is speaking here saying that He is your shade on your right hand.
So when we are focused on doing what God has for us, when we’re fighting the good fight, when we’re wrestling, not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, when we’re using our right hand to fight, God is coming beside us. And He is our shade at our right hand. He is protecting us, so we can be confident knowing that if I am doing what is in front of me, if I’m doing what the Lord has in front of me, I know that He’s coming along beside me and He’s offering protection and shade at my right hand.
So I want to pray for you right now. Lord, I thank you that you come and you offer us shade while we’re fighting. You offer us shade and comfort. And I just pray right now that there would just be a greater increase of our revelation of what that looks like, that you come at our right hand and offer a shade and protection. Amen.
