“The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.

Psalm 121:5

My sis is one of those folks who have a super connection with the Spirit. I could count on one hand the number of times the Lord has strategically placed someone like that in my path to speak a word of encouragement. I donโ€™t get creeped out. And there hasn’t yet been a time where she hasn’t been spot on with her “word from the Lord.”

I pay attention when she called on her way home to tell me she had a song for me

These are the lyrics to the song:

If you know the Lord is keeping you
What you have to worry about?
If you know the Lord is keeping you
Why donโ€™t you sing and shout
Glory Hallelujah Praise His Name
Every day with Jesus is just the same.
If you know the Lord is keeping you,
What you have to worry about

As she began singing, I jumped in with the harmonies. Right there in my office, harmonizing and teary-eyed. The song and the meaning were like water to my thirsty soul. That week had been a struggle. The song was exactly what I needed to hear. I needed the shade of God’s perfect love in the form of my sister and the song.

The song was a sweet reminder of the presence of God in the middle of living this crazy life. He’s keeping me, and I donโ€™t have to worry about anything.

Look at God, throwing beautiful and a protective shade(Psalm 121:5)
