The LORD is your keeper;Most of the psalm talks about how God will not let harm come to you. I never agreed with that mentality. I can understand why the ancient Jews held to it, because back then keeping His people safe was one of the ways that God proved He existed, and had power over other gods.
The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
However, now we do not live under that physical protection. Today, Christians are to expect persecution and harm. We may or may not receive it, but we are to understand that when it comes, God will protect our souls from corruption, but not necessarily our bodies from suffering or death.
