“But my eyes are toward you, O God. my LORD;
In you I seek refuge…”  Psalm 141:8

We have a protector who is the Lord as we see in 2 Chronicles 16:9.
“For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro thought-out the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His…”

The LORD is a fortress and a defense for those who are His; this is David’s song to the Lord when He delivered him from Saul.
“He said, ’The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold and my refuge,
my savior, you save me from violence.’”  2 Samuel 22:2-3

David repeats these words in Psalm 18:2,
“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my strong hold.”

David goes on in verse 3,
“I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.”

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
the righteous man runs into it and is safe.”  Proverbs 18:10
There is safety in the LORD’S mighty name.  In His name are the characteristics of Who He is!

He is our hiding place, a refuge and a shield:
"For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;
He will lift me up on a rock.”  Psalm 27:5

“You shall hide them in the secret place of your presence
From the plots of man;
You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion 
From the strife of tongues.”  Psalm 31:20

“You are a hiding place for me, you preserve me from trouble;
You surround me with shouts of diligence.Selah (pause and calmly think of that)!”  Psalm 32:7

“God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.”  Psalm 46:1

“You are my hiding place and my shield,
I hope in your word.”  Psalm 119:114

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The Lord bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”  
Psalm 84:11

Oh what a wondrous God is ours!  Once again I direct you to Psalm 91 which tells of the security of the one who trusts in the LORD.
“He will call on Me and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble (distress),
I will rescue him, and honor him,
With a long life (length of days) I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”  Psalm 91:15-16
The parenthesis are margin notes.

We are safe in the Lord’s hands!
Jesus, speaking in John 10:27-30,
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.  My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.  I and the Father are one.”

Thank you most mighty God for the safe and secure provisions you have provided for Your own!  The depth of your love, grace, mercy and goodness are beyond our comprehension!  Teach us how to give you praise, honor, and glory that is yours only.  Amen
