You're Not Alone (Ps. 63:9-10)

But those who seek my life to destroy it,
Will go into the depths of the earth.
They will be delivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a prey for foxes.
(Psalm 63:9-10, NASB)

I believe God protects His children. I believe nothing happens to us that isn’t filtered through His love. That’s not to say bad things won’t happen to us, or we won’t go through times of crises. But even through the “shadow of the valley of death,” God never leaves us alone.

You may have lost a loved one or are struggling with ill health. You may have a wayward child. Or you’ve been abused—or worse.

You truly feel there are those who are trying to destroy you. And sometimes, you wonder where God is. Where is His protective hand?

I don’t know what particular battle you’re fighting right now. I don’t know what you’re struggling with in the deepest part of your soul. But I do know this—and I believe it with all my heart.

Your heavenly Father has not forgotten you. He has not deserted you. He has not left your side to fight your battles alone.

If you don’t feel His presence, He’s there. And even if you’ve turned from Him in your confusion or pain, He’s still there.

He’s fighting alongside you—and He will win the war.
