“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.” Psalm 121:7-8

We are used to thinking of our God as One who is watching over us. So we are not surprised at the statement that He is watching over our life. But the next statement becomes more specific when we are told that He is watching over our COMING and GOING. That covers a lot more of the details of our lives. Most of us do a lot of coming and going. Even if we are confined to our homes, God is watching. What about a person confined to bed? God is watching over the slightest movement just as he watches over the one who comes and goes. The point is that our wonderful and loving God is watching over our lives in every detail.
