His Presence Our Protection
Thursday, February 23, 2017
The psalmist writes in Psalm 16:8, “I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” David indicates that he is always thinking of the Lord. And that, because He is so near, he need never stumble or fall. David brought himself to realize the continual presence of God. He understood that because the Lord is at his right hand (i.e. close to him, ready to protect and save) he could say, “I shall never be moved.” That means nothing will shake him or disturb him from his trust and confidence.
