Sunscreen is a very important part of my life. Due to my very Irish skin, I am predisposed to an intolerance of the sun: also known as sunburn! ouch! I even keep a small bottle in my purse for emergencies!
Last year we made a trip to Florida. I purchased an awesome umbrella that actually reflects the sun and protects my fair skin. I carried it with me the whole trip. Granted, some people gave me a confused look because I was using an umbrella in bright sunshine, but I didn’t care. I was protected!
Psalms 121 describes a Protector that is available to every believer. His name is the LORD.
The Lord watches over you--
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm--
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
God is our perfect sunscreen! He protects us and keeps us safe. Psalm 91:4 tells us that our Father keeps us under His wings – right next to him. Not only does He protect us in the physical world, but He protects us in the unseen spiritual world. Jesus told us not to fear those who could harm us physically because they could not kill our soul. (see Matthew 10:28). This is because the God of Angel Armies is right by our side. Oh what peace this knowledge brings to those of us who are facing an uncertain future, deep heart ache, or grief. The Lord watches over us as we come and go. Lather on your perfect sunscreen my friend. You don’t want a sunburn!
Journaling Prompts 1. Read Psalm 121. Write about the verses and passages that speak to your heart.
2. Why is it important to believe that the Creator of the Universe is protecting you during your hard times? (refer to verse 2)
3. Make a list of ways God can help you and protect you that your friends cannot.
4. Write a prayer of Thanksgiving to God.
