You hem me in—behind and before.
—Psalm 139:5
Candidates for the U.S. Secret Service undergo brutal background checks and intense testing to measure intelligence and physical stamina. Less than one percent of applicants make the cut.
Agents that protect the president and other officials are ever-present but seldom seen. It’s arguably the best-trained team in the world.
You have even better security: “The Lord is my strength and my shield” (Ps 28:7).
He knows when you sit and when you stand, when you go out and when you lie down (Ps 139:2, 3).
He goes ahead of you and he has your back: “I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too” (Ps. 139:5 MSG).
He has his eye on you.
You will never be where he isn’t.
