The Lord is Thy Shade

Psalm 21:5 “ The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.”-

In the shade, we are protected by scorching rays and the heat of the sun. There are days that the sun beams down hot on our face as we step outside our homes. In Colorado, if you can get to a tree that provide sufficient shade, one can be outside comfortably. A breeze often will come by, and being in the shade it cools the body with comfort. The Lord has promise to be our shade when things get unbearable. The trails and temptations that scorn us each day can be intense and wear us down. The hand of God covers us in times of hardship and shades us from the attack of the enemy. He is our keeper and will keep us from being scorn by things that will cause us to quit. We can keep working and living for God knowing that He is our keeper and will shade us with His hand of protection.
