The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. (Psalms 34:22 NIV)
Regardless of the troubles of this life, no matter what I face, the Lord will protect my soul through all of it because I belong to him. I look to him for protection.
Unfortunately, this ancient promise doesn't mean life will be carefree. Indeed, if that were the case, I wouldn't need to be rescued! I don't think this particular verse describes my rescue from suffering in this life, but rather from the occasions of sin which promise only suffering in the next.
Today, I will take comfort and trust in the Lord's merciful promise of rescue for my soul.
