Verse 3He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
Devotion
God doesn’t sleep. God never loses sight of us. There is nowhere we can go that God won’t be with us. What a comfort! My 16-year-old cat, Max, died in April. That meant 7-year-old Lulu was the only cat in my household. For weeks after Max’s death, she’d seek me out, needing to know I was still around. She gradually calmed down and now doesn’t check in with me so frequently. This experience helped me see how I take for granted that God is always there for me. I don’t have to check to see if God is still around, but I rest in the psalmist’s assurance that God will keep my “going out and my coming in from this time on and forevermore.”
Prayer
Ever-present God, we cling to your love in faith and trust. Amen.
