“The angel of the LORD
encamps around those who fear Him And rescues them.” (Psalm 34:7)
Today’s meditation verse
beautifully explains the divine protection that is assured to those who live a
life that fears God.
Fearing God does not mean
being afraid of Him like a student fears a strict headmaster or an employee
fears a superior officer. Rather, it means living with the awareness that there
is a righteous God who watches all our actions and judges them justly, and
therefore choosing to live in obedience to His commandments. When we live such
a life, today’s meditation reminds us that God sends His angels to protect us.
An incident from the life of
the prophet Elisha strongly confirms this truth. Whenever the king of Syria
planned to wage war against Israel, the prophet Elisha would foretell it and
inform the king of Israel in advance. As a result, the king of Israel stayed
alert and escaped the hands of the Syrian king.
When the king of Syria
realized that it was Elisha who was helping the king of Israel in this manner,
he sent an army to capture Elisha. At that time, Elisha was staying in a cave
on a mountain.
“Now when the attendant of
the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and
chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, ‘Oh no, my master!
What shall we do?’”
(2 Kings 6:15)
However, Elisha perceived that God had already sent His angels in advance to protect him from the army of Syria. Therefore, he said to his servant, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” (2 Kings 6:16)
“Then Elisha prayed and said, ‘O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.’ And the LORD opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” (2 Kings 6:17)
Because of this divine
protection, the Syrian army was unable to capture Elisha.
Yes, beloved ones, when we
live a God-fearing life, God protects His children in the same way. The Lord
appoints angelic protection over each of His faithful children.
Did not Jesus Himself say,
“See that you do not despise
one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven
continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 18:10)
We are made kings and
priests unto God. Just as earthly governments provide security to leaders who
hold authority in this world, God Himself provides protection to His children.
Therefore, let us not fear people of this world, but live a life that fears God
alone.
For truly, the angel of the
LORD encamps around those who fear Him, protects them, and delivers them.
